Henry Ward Beecher preached there for
some time after coming to indianapolis.
The old seminary building was torn down
in 1860 Subsequently the Legislature au-
tEorized the city to make park of it. AS
the tract was originally dedicated for a
state university in 1927. and has never been
utilized for that purpose it is doubtful if the
State has at present any title to it.
1t may be stated though not bearing on
the other question, that the tract mentioned
in the Constitution as the Governors Circle
is the present site of the soldiers and sail
crs' monument. This was originally in
tended for the Governors residence, and in
1927 the Legislature appropriated $4,000 to
erect a building there. 1t was begun but
never finished, and finally became dilapi-
dated and was removed. This tract was
dedicated by the Legislature to a special
purpose, and, as in the case of the others,
the title is practically vested in the city
The State might as well talk of selling the
monument as selling Military Park or Uni
Yersity Square.

MILITARY PARK AND UNIVERSITY
SQUARE.

A joint resolution has been introduced in
the Legislature providing for the sale by the
State of the two pieces of ground in this city
known as Military Park and University
Square. 1t will be found on examination
that neither of these tracts can be sold. AS
to the first the Constitution, Article a. Sec
tion provides that THE following grounds
owned by the State in Indianapolis, namely,
the Statehouse square, the Governors Cir
cle and so much of outlot numbered one
hundred and forty-seven as lies north of
the area of the Central canal, shall not be
sold or leased" The tract described in the
last clause is the one known as Military
Park. Its Improvement by the city as a
Park has been authorized, and it cannc. be
sold without an amendment to the Consti-
tuition.
The other tract, now called University
Square was originally dedicated to a State
university. At an early day the State Uni
versity at Bloomington attempted to estab-
lish claim TO It. but the claim was sue
cessfully resisted by the city. In 1892 the
Legislature authorized the lease of the tract
to the trustees of a county seminary for
thirty years, with the proviso that they
should build on a portion of the tract and
that if it should be needed for university
purposes before the expiration of the lease
half an acre of ground about the seminary
building should be secured to 1t. In 1sSS-S4

"PECOS BILL" HOBSONIZED.
General Shafter Kissed by the Pretty
Girls of a Texas Town.

Ell PASO Tex, Jan. 17.-Major General
Shafter and staff, en- route to California,
where the general will resume the command
which he held prior to the breaking out
OF the war with Spain, were met here by
1000 people and brass band. General Shat
ter was escorted to the City Park where
he made a ten-minute talk descriptive of the
Santiago campaign and eulogistic of the vol
unteers, of whom this locality supplied a
large number to the Rough Riders. When
the general had finished his speech a num-
ber of pretty girls insisted on taking snap
shots at him with a camera, and greatly
to his embarrassment, several of them
kissed him in the presence of the audience.
General Shafter is well known here He
fought the Indians along the Pecos river

sobriquet of "Pecos Bin,' by which he is
still called. The party remained in El Paso

The HYGIENE reform which has been begun
at Havana is likely to prove the most diff
ficult and expensive work of the kind
it is so important and imperative
that it should be done, no matter
what the expense may be. It's accomplish
ment will mark in a signal manner the diff
ference between American and Spanish
methods and between modern and medieval
civilization. Havana and its harbor repre-
sent the results of three centuries of Span
ish misrule, incompetence and disregard, not
only of all hygienic laws, but of many of
the decencies of life as they have been un-
derstood and practiced for generations past
by civilized people. The result has been the
creation of a cesspool of filth and a breeding
place for disease, which has been notorious
in medical circles everywhere and a con-
stant menace to the United States. Yellow
fever found there an inviting, permanent
home, and was always ready to attack our
southern border. What that disease has
cost the United States in loss of life, ex-
pense of quarantining and interference with
trade is almost beyond computation. The
late Colonel Warng. who sacrificed his life
in hygienic exploration of the place esti-
mated that a single epidemic of the fever
has cost the United States as much as
100000 OO0, and there have been many of
them. a permanent cure of the evil will
be a consummation entirely worthy Of a
war undertaken for humanitarian reasons
and will add to the prestige of American
government and American methods through
out the world.

Colonel Bryan's speech in Denver was
characterized by his usual dishonesty, lack
Of logic and disregard for facts The occa-
sion of his speaking was a banquet by the
Bimetallie League of Denver. The leaders
OF what is left of the free-silver movement
have evidently determined to try and get rid
OF the odium attaching to the 16-to-1 fad,
and have accordingly substituted bimetal-
lism for free silver. The free-silver clubs of
two years ago which have not gone out of
existence have become bimetallic clubs. In
his Denver speech Colonel Bryan did not
once mention free silver or 16 to l. but he
came out strong in favor of bimetallism.
This is an entire change of base, because
bimetallism is as different from free silver
at is to l as the gold standard is from the
silver standard. Real bimetallism, by which
IS meant bimetallic currency composed in
suitable proportions of gold and silver, is
only possible with gold as the standard and
silver subsidiary. If Colonel Bryan is in
favor of genuine bimetallism he has come
over to the Republican party. His conten-
tion two years ago was for the free coinage
OF silver at ratio which would drive gold
out of circulation. That is something very
different from bimetallism. Is Colonel
Bryan getting ready TO climb on to the Re-
publican platform?

The Legislature should not adjourn with
out reforming the mileage abuse 1t re-
quires some nerve for a legislative body to
cut off or reduce one of its own perquistes
but when justice and honesty require it
should be done. The present law, passed in
1881, allows them five dollars for every
twenty-five miles they may travel from
their usual places of residence to the seat
of government and back" This is 20 cents q
mile each way. One-fourth of this amount
would cover the expense of travel, and half
Of it would be excessive. Mileage for men,
bers Of Congress was abolished many years
ago. Under the present law senators and
representatives receive their actual indi-
vidual travelling expenses from their homes
to the seat of government and return, by the
most direct route of usual travel, to be GER
titled under his hand" Army and navy off,
GERS travelling under orders are allowed 10
cents a mile. Sheriffs and constables travel
ing on duty are allowed 10 cents a mile. The
mileage of members of the Legislature
should be fixed to cover the actual and rea-
sonable expenses of travel and no more.

The Kansas City Journal complains that
General Miles has sandbagged an impor-

If the charges made by General Miles are
true the important American industry de-
serves to be sandbagged, and even his op-
ponents will probably admit that he believes
them to be true His purpose was not to
assail an industry but to help locate the
blame for the fraud he believed to have been
perpefrated on the army and to prevent its
recurrence. If, incidentally, an industry got
q back-handed blow that was not his affair.

The testimony on Monday in the SEN
atorial contest must astound many who
havo been congratulating themselves in the
belief that the present ballot system insures
fair and pure elections. The secret ballot
system is not secret in some portions of the
State, and bribery can be practiced through
the assistance OF election officers. The tes-
timony in the case showed that a Demo-
cratic clerk helped the bribers to violate the
law. Another point which came out in the
Testimony is the declaration of an election
berk that Republicans never had much
show in that precinct" That is, there is
precinct in the city of Greenfield where Re
publicans are not treated as voters should
be. They are hustled about and intimi-
dated when it is possible. Inside the voting
place election officers trip the voter in the
exercise of the right of suffrage. What can
be done in this matter? Cannot the COM
mittee transmit this testimony to the attor-
ney general or to the prosecuting officer Of
the Hancock circuit to be presented to the
grand jury, or shall this wholesale bribing
and the criminal conduct alleged against
one Of the precinct clerks go unpunished?
