more than friendly to Admiral Schley,
and have never failed to resent the
treatment accorded that gallant and
capable officer by the head of the Navy
Department. This has called another
halt, and Hanna is in a dilemma OF the
first magnitude. Already there Is open
rebellion in the Republican camp, par
ticularly in the Middle West. In Chi
cago, for instance, every Republican
paper, headed by the stalwart Inter
Ocean, has been pounding the admin
istration increasingly and without
| mercy for its Puerto Rican policy. To
force Long upon the ticket would be
to add fuel t o the flames, aad the end
would almost inevitably be a disaster
to the party.
The situation is now up to Congress
man Dolliver, of Iowa, who appears, at
the present time, to be the most avail
able Republican for second place. Mark
is considering the matter with some
care, and what he determines upon will
be done.

LONG MOT A~NAILARLE.v

The question of who will be the tail
of the Republican Presidential ticket
is still unanswered. Many have been
called up for examination, but so far
no Il has been chosen. The pressure
brought to bear on Roosevelt was
strc-g, but the Governor declined the
honor. Then, after some shifting of
scenes, it looked very much as though
Secretary Long would be the choice of
MIR. Hanna, but notice has been served

THE PROFIT OF A WAR.

Japan has balanced the accounts of
the war with China, and finds she is
$50, coo. COO to the good as a net result.
The report of the Minister of Finance
covers a period of twenty-five months,
from June 1, 1894, to March 81, 1896.
The total military expenses were $780,
600, 000, and the naval expenditures
$4,000, coo, a total of $94, 600, 900. Some
of the army items are interesting. The
transportation of troops and material
cost $40, 000, 900: provisions, So, 600, 900;
clothing, $4,000, 900; pay roll, SS,000,-
COO; arms and ammunition, Sc, 000, 900:
horses. $4,000, 900; hospitals, 81, 000, 900.
To meet the cost of the war Japan col
lected a revenue of S113, 900, 900, and
the difference between receipts and ex-
penses of $40. 900, 900, has been laid
aside for future emergencies. The
Chinese indemnity was $3.50, 000, 900.
Deducting 1874, 900, 900, the cost of the
war. from that sum, $50, O00, 900 re-
mains as net profit.

THE SITUATION CRITICAL.

There is imminent danger of not only
a rupture of diplomatic, relations be-
tween the United States and Turkey,
but of something more serious. Tae
Turkish Minister at Washington may
be handed his passports at any mo-
ment, and from that step to war is
not far.
The trouble grows out of the Sultan's
intense and habitual disinclination to
keep his promises. A year and four
months ago the Sultan was pressed
for the payment of the 800, 600 indem-
nifty charged up to him as a result of
the destruction of the buildings of the
Euphrates College, at Harpoot, and the
missionary buildings at Marash, dur
ing the massacres of 1895. The Sultan
promised to pay, but did not, and re-
newed pressure upon him resulted in
another promise, which in turn was
not kept. Now patience has ceased
to be a virtue, and as the arts of dip
lomacy appear to have been exhausted,
sterner measures are very probable.
At present the American minister to
Turkey, Mr.. Straus, is at home on
a leave of absence, and u affairs are
in charge of Capt. Lloyd C. Griscom,
secretary of legation. The recall of our
representatives, and the summary dis
misSal of the Turkish minister at
Washington will bring things to a
head.

GIT C0IID.N
In his great speech in the United
States Senate, Tuesday, Senator Hoar
said, mons other things:

In his great speech in the United
States Senate, Tuesday, Senator Hoar
said, among other things:
"if I could, I would persuade the great
Republican party to come back to It's old
late. There is yet time. The President has
sad again and again that his is only an
ad interim. policy until Congress shall act.
1t is not yet too late"
Unfortunately, it is too late, and
while Senator Hoar may persuade the
Republican party to return to it's old
faith, he will never be able to make
the administration and the manage
ment in Washington see the error Of
the present way.
The great mass of the Republican
party is with Senator Hoar. The vast
majority Of the voters owing allegiance
to that organization know he is as
right in principle as he is eloquent in
expression. Tens and hundreds of
thousands of these Republicans would
rather follow Senator Hoar in his
virile Americanism than march under
the imperial banner of Mark Hanna
and William 1. And they will enact
the part of citizens of a great republic
when the time for action.
Senator Hoar's address of Tuesday
will be quoted upon ten thousand plat
forms between now and election day.
He has told the truth fearlessly and
fully. The people will read, study and
understand. Then they will act.

THE KENTUCKY INDICTMENTS.

After an exhaustive and careful in
vestigation the grand jury of Franklin
county, KY, has returned ten indict-
ments charging completely in the as
Gassination of William Goebel. Five
men-Henry E. Youtsey, James How
ard, Berry Howard, Harland Whitaker
and "Tallow Dick" Combs, the latter
colored-are named as principals,
while Secretary of State Caleb Powers,
Capt. John T. Powers, ex-Secretary of
State Charles Finley, W. H. Coulton
and f. Wharton Golden are charged
with being accessories before the fact.
In addition, Governor w. S. Taylor,
Green Golden and Captain John Davis,
of the Capitol police, are indirectly re-
fered to as accessories, although these
last three were not indicted. The evil
dence of a conspiracy to murder was
clear to the jury, and at the coming
trials it will be presented with detail
and circumstantiality. The net has
been closely woven by the prosecution,
and yet additional and important de-
velopments of fact may be confident
ly expected. Kentucky will be on trial
in this cause, as we'll as the accused,
and justice must be done, regardless of
the persons involved.

THE FRANCHISE DECISION.

Tho more or less able Parkersburg
Journal dissents from the Registers
remarks as to the possible effect of
the recent decision by the Supreme
Court as to exclusive franchises, and
Tn doing so appears to miss at least
one point involved in the case. and
upon (which the Register based its con
clusiosls.
The syllabus OF the decision, Sec. 1,
reads.
OK. Council of the town of Clarksburg
lIe isST had no power, either under its char
cities. to grant an exclusive franchise to
use its streets for the conveyance OF cleo
tricisy for public use IN the CITY"
Now, the Clarksburg Electrical Com
pany had a franchise from the town
Council, held to be exclusive. 1t ope-
rated under that grant for many years.
Then the Traders Company SET up a
private plant, and also obtained the
right from Council to erect a pole
line. But when it attempted to supply
customers, however, it was met by in
junction, and the Supreme Court up
sets the matter, giving the Traders
Company full rights anG privileges as
a competitor. That appears to be the
point at issue, and not the question
of whether or no. Councils may wish
to grant a competing franchise. In the
Clarksburg case it did wish to, and did
so, and the Council has been sustained
in its act, to the presumably advantage
Of the public.
