obligations to the nations Of the world in
VOWED In our acceptance OF sovereignty.
Second-The means and agencies for the
accomplishment OF this end must be deter
mined by the President, and 1t is well to
bear In mind that the President understands
tae situation better than anyone else can
possibly DO, inasmuch as he is IN receipt or
information from a variety Of sources, civil
and military. and has the judgment OF ex-
perts on the facts reported.
This is chiefly interesting because of its
entire freedom from sentimentality, its dis
carding of side issues n its clear recog-
milton Of the gist of the whole system. The
moment the treaty of peace was ratified the
United States came into certain rights and
duties in regard to the Philippines which 1t
could no more escape than it could any other
duty pertaining TO natural sovereignty.
From that moment to the present "the
vital issue has been," as President Schur-
man says, 'the honor of the Nation, the
protection of loyal Filipinos and the fulfill
ment Of our obligations to the nations Of
the world involved in our acceptance Of
sovereignty" If we had wished to escape
these obligations we should have rejected
the treaty. Having accepted and ratified
that the obligations cannot be avoided.
This will probably be the main conclusion
Of the commissions report.
An effort is made by foreign papers to
create an impression that Admiral Dewey
favors granting complete independence to
the Fflipinos. 1t is not at all likely that
he has expressed any views regarding the
| political policy of the United States. He
might regret the continuance of war in the
Philippines and yet be in favor Of prose-
cutting II until the insurgents submit. He
is reported as saying: THE islands are at
this moment blockaded by a fleet and war
reigns in the interior. This abnormal state
of things should cease" AS this would be
an open criticism Of the acts and orders Of
the President there is not the slightest
probability that the admiral said anything
Of the kind. In one Of his speeches last
winter the President said: 1.-The flag has
been planted on two hemispheres and there
it remains the symbol of liberty and law,
of peace and progress. Who will withdraw
it from the people over whom it floats its
protecting folds? Who will hau 1t DOWN."
Certainly. of all other men. not the hero Of
Manila bay.

The London Times has obtained an IN
junction against Lord Rosebery and his
publishers preventing them from reprintine
in book form speeches Of which stenO-
graphic reports had originally appeared in
the Times. The Times is a copyrighted pub
lication and claimed the speeches as it's own
property rather than that Of the man who
delivered them. Having beert upheld by the
court. 1t follows that hereafter any mar
who makes a speech that the Times would
like to use will have to enjoin 1t against
such publication il he wishes to have later
use of the grafton himself. Perhaps, In self.
defense. English orators can hit upon some
plan of copyrighting their speeches in ad'
vance of delivery. The difficulty with al
means for circumventing a grasplng press
is that all speechmakers are too anxious tc
be reported in the papers.

A Kansas City official propounds the in
genious theory that failure to remove gar
bage promptly-a neglect much complained
of by citizens there's due to the increased
prosperity Of the people. He figures 1t out
this way:
Everybody has work at good wages, and
consequently everybody has money. Having
money everybody is eating more than usual,
and as everybody is eating more than usual
the slop barrels in the rear of residences are
filled much oftener than they would be II
times were bad, people were poor and not
eating much. The barrels being filled often
er than usual. owing to the reign of pros
perity, the -garbageman finds ii impossible
to keep them emptied. Hence the easily
drawn inference that prosperity is respon-
sible for the complaints that garbage is not
removed as often as 1t should be.
When the Indianapolis garbage c%ontrac-
tors hear of this argument they will doubt
less claim 1t for their own. Indianapolis
prosperity must indeed be of high degree
II delay in carting away garbage Is q
proper measurement.

to nominate the best ticket for councilmen
the purpose of the convention, and that pur-
pose was effected. Cannot that experience
be turned to account this year?
The Council Is an important branch Of the
city government. Not a dollar can be spent
that it does not vote. Not an ordinance
can have the force of law that its majority
does not vote. 1t makes the levy. and last
year IL increased 1t Is % per cent.
No good thing can be said of the ma
jority of the last two Councils. Few of that
majority were men Of average ability. The
few men In the Council of 1895 who showed
a disposition to act Independently of the
mayor were not renomlnated. For all the
could as well be abolished. 1t has simply
been the echo of Mayor Taggart. 1t obeyed
his order with indecent haste when the
ordinance carrying the scandalous purchase
of park lands was crowded through without
debate. 1t is Mayor Taggart's Council. body
and boots. This he practically declared
when, before going East recently, he left a
letter advising the Council TO go slow In
regard to the matter Of elevating the rail-
road tracks. Such a performance is with
out parallel. The records of city councils
must be examined a long time before an
other instance can be found where a mayor
has given advice In that ann With
BETTING obedience, the Council has gone
slow in that matter-so slow that it has
stood still and will so stand until Mayor
Taggart directs it to proceed.

The statutes OF Indiana subject the
liquor traffic to quite a number of whole
some regulations and restrictions. Yet
others are needed. Among these are a pro-
vision in the law that no saloons shall be
licensed for country localities or in villages
that are not Incorporated. Wherever strong
drink is dispensed, disturbances are liable
to occur, and these liabilities are much in
creased where there is no police protection,
as there cannot be in country localities
and un~incorporated towns.-Goshen Times.
Colonel Huffman completed his canvass
of the city for names for his directory yes
terday and is able to show by the figures
that Anderson has a population OF 27,2S1. In
1892 the population Of the city was shown
by a directory to be 1905 and of the
suburbs 676. The city directory of two years
ago gave Anderson a population of Zl,O42.
The showing made by Mr.. Huffman's pres
ent directory attests a marvellous growth
for a town that some inland editors have
had a population in 1886 of 6,1S2. and to-day
she has 10000. Elwood had 1,923 and to-
day she has 5000. The population Of Mad

day Morning.
LONG LIST OF OFFENDERS
A Dozen Notorious Secretaries Rounded
Up-Two Men Were Arrested
for Robbery y Rolled
a Man.

The police had a busy time Saturday
night and yesterday morning. Aside
from the attention devoted to the army
of secretaries, more than a dozen of
whom were rounded up, there were nu-
merous other arrests for a varied list
of offenses
At an early hour yesterday morning
Robert Anderson and P. A. Swanson
were arrested and booked for robbery
on complaint of Henry johnson, who
informed the police that he had been
out making the rounds and became so
loaded that he fell asleep in the back
room of a saloon at SIS East Park street.
He was awakened by being hauled
about, and on opening his eyes he saw
Anderson bending over him with his
hand in his (Johnson's) pocket, while
Swanson stood looking on. He said they
took IS for him. The two men We're
sent to the county Jail and johnson
was detained as a witness.
Another early morning robbery was
reported by o. r. Bridger, a laborer,
who told the police he had visited the
resort of Emma Gordon in East Mer-
curry and had been relived by her of
$40 without his knowledge or consent.
The woman was arrested and booked
for maintaining house of prostitution.
She was released on $25 cash bonds.
Two boys, or two persons said to have
been boys, attempted to break into the
Tivoli saloon in West Broadway about
5 o'clock yesterday morning, evidently
supposing the saloon was closed but
luck was against them. The bartender,
Thomas Werlen, and the swamper,
Richard Thomas, happened to be in the
saloon and saw the would-be burglars
break the glass of the rear door and at
tempt to draw the bolt. They imme-
diately called the police and furnished
descriptions of the house breakers, upon
which Edgar Cohen and Frank Evans,
Young Evans is employed in the press
room of the Miner and, it is asserted,
was working and could not possibly
have had a hand in the job, yet both
boys were identified by the bartender
and swamper. Young Evans was sent
to the county Jail, while Cohen was
released on his mothers assurance he
could be had when wanted.
In connection with the arrest of
young Evans, Phil Goodwin, the Miner
circulator, was arrested and charged
with interfering with an officer. 1t is
said Goodwin thought officer Schmid
handled the boy more roughly than
there was any need of and expostulat-
ed, whereupon officer Schmid placed
him under arrest. 1t is also said Mr..
Goodwin will prefer charges against
