INDIANA's HoxoRs TO LAwToN.

There have been other military funerals
or funeral demonstrations in indianapolis,
but none more spontaneous or more sin
cerely mournful than that OF yesterday
in honor of General Lawton. Counting the
funeral of Abraham Lincoln commander
in-chief of the army, as military funeral
the only previous occasions when corpses
have lain in military state in the Capitol
were that of Mr.. Lincoln in April, 1866, and
of General E. r. s. Candy. who was killed
by the Modoc Indians and brought here
for burial in April. 1873. The funeral honors
paid to General Lawton, therefore, consti-
tute the third event of the kind in the his
tory of the State. 1t was timely and
happy thought on the part of the Governor
and others to ask that the body of General
Lawton be brought here and the people of
his State and civil residence be given an
opportunity to show their respect for the
memory Of one of Americas greatest SOL
diers, and the idea was carried out IN a
way to reflect credit on all connected with
its management and on the city and State
pressive by its numbers and perfect hand
ling, while the great throng of people at
the Statehouse. including many from out
side the city. evinced the popular apprecia-
tion Of the dead hero. These evidences of
profound respect and sincere mourning
were paid to the memory of the deceased
not merely because he was an Indiana
man, rejecting honor on the State of his
longtime legal residence, but because he
was a typical American soldier and pa
triot. rejecting honor on the Nation at
large. He was more than an Indiana
mamie was man. Indiana has fur
nished many brave men and true patriots,
private soldiers and officers, to battle for
the flag, but the. time and events con-
spired to give General Lawton greater con-
spicuousness and more national reputation
than any other Indiana soldier has
achieved. and so it was that his death
tional loss. 1t would have been appropri-
ate had it been thought best for him to
have been buried at the capital of the State
he loved and honored, but it is still more
appropriate that his body should rest in
the national cemetery at Washington
among those of the great defenders of the
flag whose memories the Republic will ever
cherish and whose names Americans will
never let die. Indiana has paid her last
honors to the remains of the dead hero,
and now she commits them to the Nation.

circumstances Great Britain had a right to
claim that 1t was still In force, in spite
of changed conditions. A change of condi-
tons may make 1t desirable TO annul or
modify treaty. but until IL is annulled or
modified It continues in force. OF course,
any treaty may be deliberately violated by
one of the contracting parties, but that is
not an honorable nor always safe pro-
cedure.
This is the treaty which has now been
virtually abrogated by a new one, to which,
of course. Great Britain becomes willing
party. 1t is said that under the new treaty
the United States may proceed at once TO
construct and exclusively control 18TH
milan canal without consulting or consider
ing Great Britain, the only proviso being
that the United States shall maintain the
neutrality of the waterway, allowing Brit
ish vessels the same privileges as are ac-
corded to American. The negotiation of the
new treaty is a distinct triumph for the
present administration and an additional
diplomatic achievement for Secretary Hay.

Every American with a little memory
and a spark of gratitude must have re-
called the reasons why Americans should
sympathize with Eng,and in her present
war, but they are so well set forth in a
communication to the Chicago. Tribune
that we copy IT:
In these days of stress and trial for the
British nation il might be we'll even for
those of us who criticise her motives for
entering upon this war to remember our
own days of trial in 1895. France openly
sympathized with Spain, and our most
thoughtful citizens did not feel comfort
able at the animus displayed by Germany.
The presence of the German fleet at Ma
Mia and Admiral Diederichs's unwarrant-
able meddling in our affairs there were felt
to be an affront. inere is doubt the
German Emperor was itching 10 insert his
fingers in our pie. What restrained him?
Nothing but the attitude of England. who
stood BY and gave US moral support that
We should never forget. Ingratitude is an
odious trait. Let us not, as a nation, be
guilty of 1t. Let us not forget the gratitude
we felt toward England eighteen months
ago, and the reason We had for feeling 1t.

The Indiana Medical Journal speaking of

the good work done in one of the state
educational institutions, adds this remark:
But what may not be said in honor of a
medical college like the Indiana Medical
College. with 200 students and buildings
and equipment paid for with forty teach
ers all working for the love of the work
and not receiving penny of outside
aid?" A good many people who happen to
know how much time and labor some of
the lecturers and instructors at the Medi-
cal College spend in the performance Of
their duties there will be surprised to learn
that no salaries are attached. That these
busy men are willing to give this service
for the sake of science and their profess
sion is surely to their credit. 1t is another
illustration of the truth that the best work
of the world is not necessarily done on a
cash basis.

Address by Senator Beveridge Before
New York Bankers "The
Brotherhood of Business
INTERESTS OF ALL ARE ALIKE
BANKERS AND LABORERS SHOULD
HAVE THE SAME PURPOSE.
Calamity HOyvIers and Those Who
Would Array Class Against Class
Are Enemies of the Country.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Men of prominence
in banking and monetary circles to the
number of nearly 400 met tonight at the
annual banquet of Group s of the New
York State Bankers Association, held at
the Waldorf-Astoria. 1t had been expected
that Secretary of the Treasury Gage would
be at the banquet. but telegram was read
from him in which 1T was stated he could
not be present on account of his health.
Among those at guests table were Rev.
DR.. David III. Greer, ]. Edward Simmons.
Frederick d. Happen, j. G. Hendrix, Rev.
DR.. M. w. Stryker, j. Pierpont Morgan,
Charles Emory Smith, postmaster general.
United States Senator Albert j. Beverage,
Morris X. Jessup, city controller, Bird s.
Coler and Conrad Jordan.
The toast 1.-The President of the United
States" was drunk standing amid great
enthusiasm.
Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith
then spoke. He said in part: I'VE made
our greatest commercial opportunity in
the greatest new potential market Of the
world when we secured the open door in
China. That is the splendid triumph of the
American diplomacy. 1t gives even
chance and that means an American sue
cess and leadership. And how comes this
splendid achievement of the open door? 1t
comes because we have unfurled our flag
over the Philippines, because we have
planted ourselves at the vestibule of China,
because we have made ourselves a world
power and because we have let the world
understand that American influence and
strength are in the Orient to play their
part in its future commerce and civiliza-
ton. The open door in China is a magnifi-
cent vindication of the wisdom and courage
which accepted the responsibility and the
duty of keeping our flag where the fate Of
the war had carried it, This is no hour of
the purblind pessimists, who have no just
conception of the splendor of our position
and the grandeurs of our destiny
Just as the postmaster general was con-
GLIDING his speech Governor Roosevelt en-
tered the room, accompanied by ex-Gov-
ernor Levi p. Morton. They were given a
rousing reception. The bankers stood up

The great labor strike in Chicago Is the
elimination of a struggle that has been

determination TO be independent of the

The proposed compromise in Kentucky
seems TO be complete surrender on the
part OF the Republicans. In such a situa-
ton much should be conceded for the pres
ervation fof peace. but in this compromise
the fact that Taylor was elected Governor
by the people and was so declared by the
state board OF election commissioners
seems to be entirely overlooked. Every
thing done by the Legislature since the
decision of the state board has been ir-
regular and Illegal. Governor Taylor has
made mistakes. but they do not nullify the
important fact OF his election. BY the pro-
posed arrangement he seems TO concede
everything and gets nothing except i'm
munity from prosecution for acts done as

one-sided compromise.

Seeing and Knowing.

An eminent lord chief justice who
was trying a right of way case had be.
fore him a witness, an old farmer. who
was proceeding to tell the jury that he
had "knowed the path for 60 year, and
