THE VICE PRESIDENT'S POSITION.

THE VICE PRESIDENTS POSITION.
The position of the vice president is
a matter of tradition that is not likely
to be disturbed. To be esteemed
worthy to be president, to preside over
what, when all is said, is the most dis
tinguished legislative body in the
world, is honor enough for the great
est man. The weight Of any particu-
lar vice president with the administra-
tion will depend on his intellectual and
moral qualities. If he is man of
power and in thorough sympathy with
the policy of his party, he is in the
cabinet. He is part of the administra-
tion. No constitutional amendment
was necessary to make Vice President
Hobart a trusted and influential mem.
ber of the cabinet None will. be
needed to make Theodore Roosevelt
trusted and influential at Washington.
He holds the second greatest office in
the world. His character is a guaran,
tee that he will have influence in the
administration. A constitutions.

Minnesota has thrown off its Demo

his defeat to the fact that he allowed
himself to be swallowed up by the
Democratic party. Even his great
popularity could not save him, and his
political future is apparently blasted,

WASHINGTON. Dee. 3.-The final ses-
sion OF the Fifty-sixth Congress began to-
day. There was the usual handshaking
in both houses; also the usual opening-day
display OF flowers on the desks OF members.
The Presidents message was read, and it
was the feature of the days proceedings.
Comments OF Indianians on the message
follow:
Senator Fairbanks-It is an excellent and
admirable paper, dealing with domestic
and foreign affairs in an able manner.
Senator Beveridge-It is a great national
business statement, showing how actively
we are factor in the worlds affairs. The
instructions to the Philippine commission
are fine example of constructive states
manship. The Cuban statement is admira-
BILE, conservative and wise.
Representative Overstreet-It is a strong
business report, ably presented and quite
characteristic OF the administration, which
has been a business administration.
Representative Watson-A strong docu-
ment.
Representative Crumpacker--So far as
have read 1t. il is good.
Representative Hemenway-It is a clear
presentation of the public business.

HIS EYES BURNED OUT
TEXAN LITERALLY ROASTED WHILE
SITTING IN CHAIR.
Alleged to Have Been Drugged, Tur-
pcntine Poured Over Him and
a Match Applied.

DALLAS. Tex, Dec. 3-Screams of
agony brought policemen to a saloon in
East Dallas this morning at 1:30 o'clock.
Seated in a chair, unable to move, was a
man whose garments were a mass of
flames. The officers say Eugene Faulkner
and j. w. Chapman were standing behind
the bar, smoking cigars and watching the
unfortunate man, who was being roasted
to death
Bring some water here quick" shouted
an officer.
"Get it yourself" the policemen declare
one of the men retorted. LET him die.
What's the use of worrying over him.
One of the officers took off his coat and
with it beat out the fire. The man was
sent to the City Hospital, where he died
at 8 a. m.
Soon after his arrival at the hospital
the two men who were in the barroom
were brought before him for Identification.
Then 1t was that the discovery was made
that his eyes had been burned out. He
was Pate Balm. for many years a con-
stable at Garland, in this county. 1t is
claimed by the officers that Balm was
drugged and as he reclined in chair un-
poured over him and match applied. The
man was literally roasted. When the heat
and pain lad partly revived him he called
piteously for help and when none came
he screamed and attracted the officers.
When news of the outrage became wide
spread the greatest Indignation was ex-
pressed. The two suspects were put in the
city Jail and guarded by deputies.
Shortly after 10 o'clock tonight a mob
of fifteen or twenty men called at the jail
and demanded the prisoners of the jailer.
The jailer swore that they were not in his
possession. They had been taken to Fort
Worth early in the evening, he declared.
WELL" said the leader of the mob, 'if
we catch them we'll burn them"
Faulkner and Chapman refused to talk,
and no motive is known for the crime.

COMMENT ON MESSAGE
HOW LONDON EDITORS VIEW THE
PRESIDENTS UTTERANCES.
For Once the "Thunderer" Sees Some
Good i'm the American Adminis-
tration's Chinese Policy.

LONDON. Dec. 4.-Comment upon Presi-
chiefly devoted to the reference to Ameri-
cas- Chinese policy.
The Daily Graphic says: "The policy of
the United States regarding China is not
heroic. but it is certainly practical. and
there is ample reason to believe that it
will prevail
The Times says: 'The message makes
II clear that on the vital point of insisting
on punishment for the outrages Mr.. Nc
Kinley remains firm. We are glad to see
that on the subject of guarantees for
Christian converts the President makes a
new proposal I'm advance of any put for
ward elsewhere. In regard to the indem-
nifty question he is in agreement with
some of the best opinions in England"
The Times. editorially. concludes with the
expression of hope that Mr.. McKinley's
second term may be marked by a 'satis-
factory settlement of all outstanding
questions between Great Britain ard
America"
The Daily News says: 1.-THE message
contains nothing new and nothing very
illuminating on matters that are old. 1t
will be very closely scanned for its refer
ences to China. 1t looks as though the
American formula were that the powers
are to specify the culprits and the Chi
nese government is to specify the punish
ment On such terms a speedy settlement
would undoubtedly be possible, but would
it be effective or durable?"
The Standard, which agrees with the
Times in thinking that il all the powers
had withdrawn after the legations were
relieved to the same extent as the United
States, there would not now be much
chance of obtaining satisfaction, re-
marks: "The excessive anxiety to re-
establish trade with China. is perhaps the
real explanation of some points that have
not seemed satisfactory in the recent
policy of the United States" In the opin-
ion of the standard the Washington gov
ernment has "acted as a drag on Euro
pean diplomacy"
The Daily Chronicle observes: Clearly
the United States government is able to
boast Of an aggregate OF imports and ex-
ports exceeding two billions and to pro-
pose a reduction of revenue taxation to
the extent of thirty millions. The admin
istration has a fair justification, even If
there be no very obvious need. for further
encouraging the American mercantile
marine"

When the roll had been called the speak
er announced that 90 members had re-
sponded 10 their names, a quorum, and the
House was ready for business. The follow
ing members-elect then appeared at the
bar OF the House and took the oath of al
legiance: Albert d. Shaw, who succeeds the
late Representative Chickering, of New
York; Allen NJ. McDermott, who succeeds
the late Representative Daily, of New Jer-
sey; Walter o. Hoffecker. who succeeds the

ceeds Gen. Joseph Wheeler, of Alabama;
W. II. Jackson, who succeeds Governor
Smith, OF Maryland; Samuel d. Woods,
who succeeds Representative Devries, OF
California.
Mr.. Bailey. of Texas, questioned the form
OF the resignation of Representative Dol
liver. He said he doubted the right of a
member to resign at future fixed date.
He said he would not raise the point for
mally, but merely called attention to
it SO in future it could not be used as
precedent. Mr.. Delivers resignation. he
said, had been rendered, TO take effect Dec.
], so that Mr.. Connor had been elected to
fill vacancy which did not exist at the
time of the election. He cited a court de-
cision to show that resignation to take
effect at future date was not resgna-
tion in fact, but simply a notification of
resignation to be made in the future. Mr.
Bailey said he did not desire to press the
matter, but desired the protest to be filed
The speaker stated that. inasmuch as OBJ
lection had been made, Mr.. Connor would
step aside until the protest had been dis
posed OF.
The speaker announced the appointment
of Mr.. Babcock, of Wisconsin,, on the
committee on ways and means, to succeed
Mr.. Dolliver.
After the adoption of formal resolutions
the House, at o'clock, took recess until
2 o'clock, when the Presidents message
was laid before the House. It's reading was
listened to attentively The reading occu-
pied two hours and ten minutes. There
were no demonstrations during the reading,
but the clerk finished there was a scat
tering round of applause on the Republican
side. The House adjourned at 4:20 p. m.
