With to-day begins the last year of the
nineteenth century. A hundred years is not
a long time in the history of the world,
which has existed for millions of years;
yet the nineteenth century is likely to re-
main a notable one in the history of the
worlds progress There are some persons
living, not many, but perhaps two or three
scores in the United States, who were alive
a hundred years ago to-day. The lives of
these persons cover the whole of the nine
teenth century except its last year, and
some of them will live it through. There are
some children now living who will be alive
on the first of January, 1889. 1t is a great
thing to have lived during the nineteenth
century, but who can tell if the cente-
narians of hundred years hence will not
have seen still more wonderful develop
ments, discoveries. inventions and progress?
The nineteenth century is not the whole
thing. There are others.

A recent writer puts forward the idea that
a certain standard of physical excellence
should be required of a candidate for coll
lege degree as well as moral and mental
standards. He looks forward hopefully to
seeing Harvard men possess physical accom-
plishments equal to cadets of West Point
and Annapolis. It would be a happy state
of affairs on some accounts if brain and
Drawn invariably accompanied each other
The race standard would advance rapidly in
such case. AS it now happens however. a
high degree of mentality often exists where
the physical frame is weak. 1t would be
rather hard if these individuals of brilliant
mind and inferior body were prevented from
having their chance in the world and the
world of profting by their development The
law that to them that hath shall be given

ately giving athletes a monopoly of the col

The murder committed by DR.. Gray in
Bloomfield was committed with the DELHI
GRAFTON of generalization, and, now that
popular attention has been drawn to it, the
trial should not be delayed. OF course, the
lawyers will attempt to clear him on the
miserable pretext of temporary insanity,
but the pubic knows that the man knew
what he was doing, and, therefore, should
be punished to the extent of the law. Fail
ure to punish such murders is responsible
for the disposition in many cases to take
the life of the offender by lynching.

The Journal is opposed to the suggestion
that law be enacted prohibiting the placing
homes in this State. 1t is true that Indiana
has orphan children of her own that must
be provided for, but she must not close her
doors against those from other States. There
must be no quarantining against orphans.

doors must be open to young Americans as

tofore 1t cost 100000 a year to have the gar
