The Indiana State Teachers Association,
which will begin its forty-seventh annual
session in this city to-day, is one of the
most potent factors in the State for eduea-
tional progress. 1t is doubtful if any other
State has as old an association of the kind.
and certainly none has an association more
distinctly representative of every class of
educational workers or more imbued with
professional spirit and enthusiasm in their
work. The Journal extends a cordial well
come to the visiting teachers, and hopes
their session may be as pleasant as it is
sure to be profitable

The reduction of the cost of county print
ing. as shown by the bids which have been
published. proves the wisdom of the policy
established by Republican legislation. Only
few years ago IL was maintained that
the commissioners could do better to make
private contracts. but the result the past
two years and the bids for next year show
the importance of the change as re-

Many OF the Santa Fe teieg~aphers who
recently struck and lost their positions are
now denouncing President Dolphin for hav-
ing misled them as to real conditions. They
declare that Dolphin wanted to make a
record and that he has sacrificed their posi-
lions in his efforts to accomplish his own
designs. There is reason to believe there
i a good deal of that sort of thing among
a certain class of labor leaders.

PARTLY CLEAR AND PARTLY
CLOUDY.

Northern papers and magazines are
given to writing of the negro question
about which they know really but
very, very little. Now and then you
see an article that is sane and sem
sible, and shows that the writer is not
an escaped lunatic or a fanatic who
nurses his wrath to keep it warm
The New York Sun seems to shin with
less cloud over it's face than is usual
with it, when it writes of the afore-
said question. 1t offers this line of re-
Election to it's northern readers, and it
is to be hoped hat it will do them
good and serve to enlighten their be-
nighted understandings:
The concern in the negro question,
or the race problem" therefore, is
not limited to the geographically
southern states, but extends to every
part of the union, for each is concern
ed in the welfare of all. The so-called
south has no interests which are dis
t~inguishable from those of the So
called north. No settlement of the
question of negro labor which is not
for he advantage of the south can be
otherwise than Instantaneous to the
north. Prosperity at the south is ii
common benefit to the whole union,
and whatever disturbs prosperity there
reacts injuriously upon ALL"
After this it seems to have suffered
from a partial eclipse. n INDUCES
in some of the old stuff the south has
long been dosed with. We only give
this, and what it says will provoke a
guffaw in the south among the people
with memories and eyes to see. The
Sun says of the north, and il reads
like a Massachusetts fanatic wrote it:
1T has no liberation for inherited
prejudices and enmities, for heartburn
ings I'VE a lost cause but is afraid
Of them. 1t demands, first of all, har-
mony and a dominant feeling Of ma
tionality. So long, therefore, as we
have what is called the solid SOUTH or
a group of states which vote solidly
on one side, whatever the issue, so that
practically there is no political discus
sion in them, the group segregates it
self from the nation, with results in
furious to itself and dangerous to the
rest"

GREAT ABUSE IN CUBA.

Hark! Hear, The Cuban scandal not
gance in postal affairs is being inves-
tigated, and the officials are being
inquired Of and investigated. Take
one f. G.. Rathbone, director of posts.
He is fat and greasy In addition to
salary of Sc, 500, he has all expenses
paid, including house rent. He has a
per diem of S. for living expenses, and
the annua rental of his house is 5000.
All this is paid out of the Cuban rev.
enues. A carriage and horses were
bought and paid for out Of the same
fund, and coachman, footman and ser
wants are carried on the Cuban pay
roll. The charge of the director Of the
posts upon the postal service, it is
said, does not fall short of s16,O 900 a
year, counting salary, mouse rent, cost
of entertaining, travelling, and living
expenses, ETC."
We get this from the Washington
Post. This is a charge upon the service
twice as great as that of a cabinet
officer of the Uuited States. There is
a big deficit reported, owing to heavy
postal expenses. The extra allowances
made to four army officers doing duty
in Cuba also provokes discussion in the

1t looks as if Uncle Sam would have
both hands occupied before he adds
many years to his age. There is talk
now in Europe about that Monroe doc
trine, that may yet get this country
into trouble unless it is dropped. The
idea of this country undertaking to
dictate TO the nations as to the Jul
tries in South America, is moving
some of them to talk with some plain
ness. 1t is almost certain hat if the
United States shall ever attempt to
carry out the principles of the Monroe
doctrine that trouble of a very serious
character will follow, and more than
one great nation will AVE to be en-
countered. 1t is said hat Germany has
its eyes upon Brazil and perhaps other
South American countries. Referring
