From the uncompleted poll of the
state the outlook is for n Mckinley
majority Of $1,000 to 10000. At none of
the headquarters will they give these
figures out officially. They do not want

standing sponsor for the facts in their
possession. The reports are almost.
too good to be believed If the drift,
continues to develop and swell as 1t now
seems to. be doing, the Republican ma
jority in Indiana will be more likely 10
exceed the figures named than to fall
below them. It Is mistake to say
that there has been a change in sanr-
ment in Indiana within the last few
weeks. 1t has been only recently that
there could be an expression of what
the real sentiment Of Indiana is.

"DLoOD is THICKER THAN WA
TER"


The quotation above has become his
torlc phrase. The probabilities are that
most English-speaking men have used it
at one time or another, and all have heard
it used. But how many know the origin
of it? How many know that an American
"a Georgian, a Savannahan-gave curren-
cy to the sentiment under circumstance
which are recalled by current events in
China?
Forty-one years ago, Capt afterwards
Commodore Josiah Tattnall, who was
born in this city In 1875, was flag officer
of the Asiatic station of the United States
navy. Arriving at his post, he found
China at war with the allied English and
French fleets. On July % of that year,
standing on the deck of his ship in the
Pei-Ho, he saw the British vessels under
fire of the Chinese forts. These were the
Taku forts, where the foreign warships
are now gathered. The fire from the forts
was proving terribly effective. At length,
Capt. Tattnall could resist the desire
to interfere no longer. Uttering his
memorable words to his executive officer,
1t is said, he gave the signal for action,
and his men responded gladly and prompt
ly. Tattnail picked a crew to row him
to the flagship of the British feet. While
his boat was between his own yes
sci and that of the British commander, it
was struck by a Chinese shell which kill
ed the coxswain and severely wounded
Lieut.. Stephen Decatur Trenchard. TAFT
nails order was for the men TO bend
harder to their oars. The Americans had
then an added motive for fighting; to
avenge their comrades. Boarding the
British vessel Tattnall and his men press
ed to the front and aided the British in
defeating the Chinese. 1t was glorious
victory and the British have always given
che brilliant American high praise for
his part in it.
Tattnan had of course, violated the neu-
tralty laws of the United States in thus
going to the aid of the British. But pub
lic opinion in this country, believing with
him that blood is thicker than water"
upheld him in his course; so instead of
punishment, he received new honors. The
sentiment was repeated and recprocated
on the part of the British during our re-
cent war with Spain. 1t was an open Sc
cret that the British were our friends dur
ing that war, so that the whole of Europe
was estopped from interfering in any
manner with our operations against the
Spaniards.

THE KANSAS CRY PLATFORM

1t is evident from the Democratic plat
forms which have been adopted in the
different states that there is no over
whelming desire that the leading features
Of the Chicago platform shall be empha-
sized in the platform to be adopted at
Kansas City. In some of these state plat
forms the Chicago platform has been
practically ignored. In most of them, how
ever it has been endorsed in a general
way, and the chief attention has been
given to issues which have arisen since
that platform was adopted.
The indications now are that the silver
issue, while it will have place in the
Kansas City platform, will be so present.
ed that II will not attract a great deal of
attention. 1t may be that the only refer
ence to it will be in the Endorsement that
will be given the Chicago platform.
The belief is becoming stronger that
the great battle of the campaign will he
for the electoral vote of New York. 1t
seems to be pretty generally conceded that
If the Democrats can carry that state
however, some concession will have to be
made, in all probability. on the silver
question.
This view will no doubt be strongly pre-
scented by conservative men from New
York and other states, at the National
Convention. In view of the higher prices
for farm products which have prevailed
since the adoption Of the Chicago plat
form. IL will not be possible to get up a
great deal of enthusiasm for silver, par
ticularly as there is to be very little prob
ability OF silver legislation within the next
four years. even IL the Democrats should
elect the President
1t will cause no surprise II the Kansas
City platform should be very conserva-
tive respecting the issues which were
made prominent in the Chicago platform.
The good Of the country requires that the
Democratic party should be successful In
a campaign this year. and there is no rea-
son why success should be jeopardized by
400 close adherence to sentiment.

THE EAST BROAD STREET TRAG-
EnK.

There may be some circumstances con-
nected with the shooting of the colored
man, William Stewart, by ]. ]. Read, a
white man, at East Broad and Charlton
streets on Thursday, which would make
the charge against Read seem less grave
than do the facts published IN the news
papers. 1t is 10 be hoped there are, be-
cause. from the account of the affair in
the public prints. the shooting was not
only unprovoked, but was cruel and
brutal.
The homicide has been the cause OF
great deal of indignation. Citizens in all
walks of life have commented on it, and
have expressed the opinion that Read
should be indicted promptly and tried,
without unnecessary delay. The witnesses
can be had now and swift punishment, If
a crime was committed, should be in
fiicted on the criminal. We do not I'M
dertake to PREJUDICE the case. We do not
undertake to say what the facts are. We
are certain, however, that everybody in
the city who has read the accounts of the
affair. feels that there should be no de-
lay in bringing Read to trial.
The victim of the shooting is said to
have been a hard working and inoffensive
man. It does not appear that he was the
sort of man to make himself obnoxious
to anybody. 1t is doubtful if he knew
Read According to one witness he was
approached. insulted and then shot.
OF the many homicides in this city In
recent years, there seems to be less to be
said in extenuation of this one than there
was of most of the others. A prompt and
vigorous prosecution is probable. and if
the facts are as stated and the jury
does its duty, a result may be reached
that will create a healthier public senti-
ment respecting the sacredness of human
life
