The figures compared and published yes
terday morning regarding the pay rolls OF
the street gang are interesting as showing
the methods OF the Taggart administration.
During the year 1sss. when the election did
not come SO early as this year by a month,
the pay roll of the street gang for seven
weeks beginning about Aug. 3 called for
S,l30.61. or an average OF S775.@ a week.
During the corresponding seven weeks OF
the present year, when Mr.. Taggart has a
personal election pending. the aggregate OF
the pay roll was ss.2lT.aNan Average Of
a.Zs.0 a week. During the week which
ended Sept. IA the pay roll called for s~u,s17.4O.
compared with $500 50 during the correspond
ing week Of 1895. That Is. with his re-
election pending Oct. 10. Mayor Taggart's

A BOUQUET FOR soUsA.
Another Great Audience Hears the
Popular Dand's Music.

Perhaps the largest crowd that ever at
tended a night entertainment at the state
fair grounds was present at the open-air
concert given by the Sousa Band last night.
1t was an enthusiastic, music-loving crowd
and was ready to applaud the number from
the time the opening overture. William
TELL was given, to the close. when the
band gave gems from the Runaway Girl"
Every available seat in the amphitheater
was taken and many people. in order to get
as near the band as possible, stood up. Hun
dreds of people did not attempt to get seats
in the amphitheater. The gates of the race
track were kept open and the space in front
of the amphitheater was rowded. A great
many city people drove out to the grounds
and remained in their carriages during the
concert. 1t was fully an hour and a half
after the concert closed that the last of the
crowd was able to get way from the
grounds. The Monon's special left the
grounds for the city about 1880 o'clock.
Nearly all of the coaches were filled.
Sousa was very obliging again last night
and gave encore numbers wherever the
audience indicated a desire for them. This
was very frequent. One of the encores was
THE Washington Post" one of Sousa's ia
vorite marches. The audience recognized 1t
and Stripes Forever with the children's
chorus of five hundred voices, was given
again last night. Prior to the rendition of
this favorite, 1.-The Battle Hymn of the Re-
public was given. Mr.. Louis Dochez sing
Ing the solo part, The children sang the
chorus with fine effect. The audience would
not permit Mr.. Dochez to retire until three
verses of the hymn had been sung. The
Stars and Stripes Forever" made a tremen-
dous hit with the audience and the chorus
was given several times.
The programme was given in two parts,
there being a ten minutes wait after the
first part. Just before the intermission
Charles F. Kennedy. secretary of the State
Board of Agriculture, stepped forward and
presented John Philip Sousa with a fine
bouquet Of roses. Sousa bowed his thanks
and the audience cf1eered generously. In
the second part of the programme the band
played Sousa's Hands Across the Sea"
While this number was being played, two
children. a boy and girl from the chorus,
entertained the audience by giving a cake
walk on the platform in front of the band.
The youngsters were very clever and grace
full. Last nights concert concluded the
Sousa engagement here.

AMERICAN MILITARY JUSTICE.

In their anxiety to render the administra-
ton of President Mckinley unpopular the
Aguinaldists and -anti-expansionists are
boomerangs. 1t is surprising how promptly
and completely every story intended to
bring discredit ON the conduct of affairs
i'm the Philippines has been refuted. either
by the retraction of those making them,
the evidence of more trustworthy CORE
spondents or by official reports. The latest
case in point is that of two private SOL
diers who were found guilty by a court
martial of an Infamous crime and sentenced
TO death. and a third who. IL was said, had
been prosecuted by his superiors and SEN
fenced to a long Imprisonment for a petty
misdemeanor. The latter was an Ohio man
and we'll connected. and the Democratic
press Of that State has been trying hard
to make political capital out of It. The first
case was so fragrant and the necessity Of
inficting the severest punishment on that
particular crime when committed by Amer
lean soldiers on defenseless women was so
OBJ yious that the mere statement that the
President had reviewed the finding of the
court-martial and absolutely refused to in
terfere was sufficient to silence criticism.
No political party could hope TO make head
way before the people by maintaining the
right of American soldiers. acting under
military law. TO ravish the women OF a peo-
pie of whom the government is trying to
make friends. IL people can almost con-
done the hanging of black brutes in the
South who perpetrate this crime they cam
not think the death penalty too severe for
white men wearing the United States uni
form ard perpetrating 1t under circum-
stances even more deserving of punishment.
In the case of the Ohio man, in whose
interest a protest was sent to the Presi-
dent and a large amount Of ink has been
shed by Democratic papers, it turns out that
he was fairly tried and convicted beyond
a shadow of doubt of forging the names of
six of his company comrades to a paper
recommending his promotion; that he tried
to deceive the commanding general with this
forged paper; that he was tried at the in
stance of the colonel of his regiment, and
that the finding Of the court-martial was
approved by General Lawton before 1T was
by General Otis. The evidence showed that
the man was a sneak as well as a forger.
and the heaviest penalty affixed to his crime
by military law was none too severe.
These cases should teach the Aguinaldists
and anti-~expansionists that when they at
tack American military courts they attack
American gentlemen who know what they
are about and who act from a sense of duty.
When Ex-Governor Altgeld said the other
day that the Dreyfus case Illustrated the
spirit Of militarism in the American army
he uttered a base Islander on the national
| character. American military law is based
| on the same principles as American civil
law, and both aim at justice.

pushing other issues to the front. The meet

OF the small attendance. it would have been

otherwise. The wiser policy is to place re-
strictions upon such combinations which will
prevent them from being used to the detri-
ment Of the public.

The enormous crowds at the State fair
yesterday, people from every walk i'm life,
with the Hoosier farmer, glad and prosper
Gus. largely in evidence, was not only an
index, but a picture of the remarkable boon
which has come TO the American people in
the last couple of years. There are quite a
few people who believe the wise statesman
ship of President Mckinley and his advisers
had much to do with this, and when the
many people who recognized the gentlemen
saw Senators Fairbanks and Beyeridge
walking arm in arm about the grounds yes
terday afternoon, admiring a fine Shrop-
shire sheep here and a pretty new red agri-
cultural implement there, they felt that
these Indiana statesmen were very naturally
q part of the happy picture. for they will
have much TO do with the continuance of the
policy which has made these times Of good
business and contentment possible.
The two Indiana senators met quite by
chance. Mr.. Beveridge was resting his eve
on a particularly good specimen of draught
horse when his colleague came up. and The
two sauntered off together to take IN the
sights. Mr.. Beveridge does not have many
years to look backward to see the time
when he was vitality interested in any de-
vice that would save labor at the pillow or
other farm implement, for the Junior sem
ator worked in the fields between seasons
while he was at college. So the two sena-
tors, so chance listeners report, talked as IL

Ex-Mayor Denny, In his open letter to
Mayor Taggart, recalls the fact that just
after the ~latter's first election as mayor
he stated his purpose to enforce the laws
as vigorously as Mayor Denny had done,
thereby approving the latter's policy. The
Journal of Oct. u, 1895, contained an article
regarding the organization Of the new
Board of Safety, and the following inter-
view with the new superintendent of police:
Superintendent of Police Colbert surprised
some OF his friends yesterday when he was
quoted as follows concerning an enforce
ment OF the saloon and liquor laws: No
a. gambling house shall be left in ~Indianap-
oils. L shall hunt down the gamblers as
shall be no rest for them until they leave
the city or quit the business"
"What will be your policy respecting the
violations OF the liquor laWs?"
They shall be enforced without fear or
favor. The enforcement shall be more pro-
nounced, IL anything, than under MIR. Pow
ell. My instructions and my own inclina-
tons go together In these things"
Thus it appears the new superintendent
had his instructions. and they embodied an
approval Of Mayor Denny's policy with an
assurance hat the enforcement Of law
should be more pronounced. If anything,
than under Mr.. Powell" And yet Mayor
Taggart is now condemning and ridiculing
Mayor Denny's efforts to enforce the law.
