The Georgia Legislature has set foolish
example, which it is hoped may not be-
come contagious nor stand for precedent.
Its action in unanimously electing w.
j. Bryan President is a specimen of a
kind of chilo's play that American legis-
latures are too much given to. 1t is some
what like passing bombastic resolutions OF
sympathy with struggling peoples in re-
mote parts of the world, or resolutions Of
censure on the heads of monarchical gov.
ernments or doing other acts that serve to
bring American legislative bodies into ridi-
Guile. In this case it may even have
more mischievous effect, for it advertises
place itself on record as repudiating the
verdict of very large majority of the
people. If every State legislature should
follow the foolish example of recording
its preference for President after the peo-
pie have spoken the excitement of a pres
idential election might be indefinitely pro-
longed. and in time these legislative votes,
empty and childish in the beginning might
be invested with political significance and
become the basis of some new-fangled de-
parture in our political system.
Replying to- the notification from the
Georgia Legislature of his unanimous
election" MIR. Bryan sent a letter express
ing his appreciation of the compliment. If
he cared 20 inform himself on the SUBJ
ject he could learn that the action of the
I.pOiSlafIlrp wa far ba
sentiments of the people of Georgia. There
is reason to believe that he lacks a great
deal of being the unanimous choice of the
people of that State, even of the white
people, for President. The conditions in
Georgia are not greatly different from
those in South Carolina, where only about
10000 white persons voted out of 100000 en-
titled to vote The vote at the primary in
Charleston was 1850, while at the general
election it was only 1000. In Columbia
only about 800 votes were cast out of reg
istered white vote of 5000 So it was all
over South Carolina, and no doubt in
Georgia as well. The fact is a very large
proportion of the white people of the South
desired the election of Mr.. Mckinley
enough TO refrain from voting. while most
of those who did not vote cared very little
whether Bryan was elected or not. A
prominent South Carolina Democrat said
since the election: Not one speech was
made for Mr.. Bryan in our State during
the entire campaign. There was no en-
thusiasm and no waste of eloquence.
introduce a resolution in the Legislature
declaring Mr.. Bryan their unanimous
choice for President it would pass. just
as it did in Georgia, but it would not rep
resent popular sentiment The defeated
candidate will be badly deceived if he at
taches any political weight to foolish in
dorsements like that of the Georgia Leg
islature. OF course, he will die hard, but
the end is none the less inevitable.

THE VOTE FOR GOVERNOR
OFFICIAL RETURNS SHOW DURBIN's
PLURALITY TO Re 25,259.

The Legislature.

The complete returns of the vote in all
the counties of the State on all state ana
congressional candidates were received
yesterday in the office of the secretary OF
state and were at once turned over 10 &C
countants for tabulation. The Journal pre-
sents the vote on all the candidates Ior
Governor. The table includes the revised
figures for Marion county. The totals snow
that the entire vote cast for Governor was
Coz, SS7. Governor-elect Durbin received OF
these 332, 066, giving him a plurality over
Kern, who received 3O6272, of 25,259, and
majority over all other candidates of lib.
The total Prohibition vote was 3D.
The plurality of Durbin, q, 259, was FOUND
to be somewhat in excess of the plurality
shown for Mckinley in the table published
yesterday in the Journal. Investigation
showed the latter table in error in several
particulars. The figures presented In that
table were wholly unofficial, though they
came from sources thought to be renaDie
The complete returns of the vote on the
presidential office have not been received at
the office of the secretary OF state. AS soon
as all counties have sent in returns TN
official figures will be published In the

The Journal cannot conceive of an enter
prise that promises so much for Indianap-
oils and southwestern Indiana as the pro-
posed Indianapolis Southern Railway.
Nearer indianapolis than any other rail-
road center, towns like Nashville, Browns
town, Salem, Rockport and PaoI. have no
direct connection with this city. We have
no short line to Evansville, nor to the most
valuable stone quarries in Washington.
Monroe and Orange counties. Near the
date when this part of the State must rely
upon coal .or fuel railroad that will
bring the coal fields in Dubois, Spencer.
Greene and Sullivan counties close to our
doors is now of the first importance if we
are to hold our own as a manufacturing
center
After consulting the map it is matter
OF surprise why the Indianapolis Southern
was not built years ago. for the reason that
Il must be a valuable property as soon as
built, because it will bring a well-settled
region with valuable resources, to a mar
ket and railroad center. Thousands of
miles of railroads have been built to open
countries when the investment had to wait
the settlement and development of a whole
region, but here a settled section awaits a
railroad that must be profitable invest
ment Another inducement is that the en-
terprise is in the hands of well-known and
successful business men of Indianapolis,
as will be seen by referring to the COM
pany's offer of preferred stock. If the
preferred stock is taken here the road will
be an Indianapolis enterprise, controlled by
citizens of indianapolis, which is very i'm
portant. But, if the preferred stock were
not so promising an investment. the urgent
necessity of cheap and abundant coal
should induce those who are interested in
indianapolis prosperity to purchase the
stock at once.

The action of President Mckinley in
asking his entire Cabinet to continue with
him during his second term, and this sew
erar months before his Inauguration, is a
stroke of practical craftsmanship The
talk of Cabinet changes always has more
or less OF disturbing influence on business
not serious, perhaps, but perceptible
There is nothing that business interests
desire much as continuity OF admins
tration and permanence of policies in gov
eminent affairs. A mere change of Cab
met officers does not necessarily involve
any disturbance of business, bat an as
surance Of continuance is sort of guaran-
tee of stability that tends to promote con-
fidence. Every President has shown de-
sire to have as few Cabinet changes as
possible during his first term, and in some
instances the same Cabinet has been con-
the first instance in which a President
has, several months prior to his Inaugural
ton for second term, requested his en-
tire Cabinet to continue to serve. Besides
giving assurance of perfect harmony be-
tween the President and every member of
his Cabinet. 1t is a graceful and tactfuI
method on his part of expressing his graf
itude for their faithful public service and
their loyalty to him personally. 1t has
been customary for members of the Cab
met to tender their designations as of
course on the Inauguration of a President
for a second term, thus giving him a free
hand to form a new one in whole or in
part If he so desired. The novel action
of President Mckinley removes the neces-
sity for this customary form and leaves
ii optional with every member of the Cab
met to remain i'm the Presidents political
family IL he so desires. How many of
them will do so remains to be seen. 1t is
probable that two or three will resign for
personal or business reasons. and that
. majority will remain. However this may
be, the action of the President is as grace
full and tactful on his part as it is novel
and unprecedented.

The following, from a press dispatch
dated New York, Nov. L. is worth en-
phaszing:
Wall street has never known such a flood
as that which has set in since election day
Money, boarded for many months in all
parts of the country, has poured into the
stock market SIS a result of the presidential
campaign. The professional Spectator has
been overwhelmed, and hardly banker or
broker in the street has been able to fill or
ders. A table shows that in four days the
railroad and industrial stocks sold on the
public exchanges have increased in actual
market value S495 6SS. 9S5 This has never
been equaled before in Wall street or in
any of the worlds markets. Such result
could be achieved only by the most SUBJ
stantial buying of multitude of investors.
This flood of money and rush of invest
ments are Indicative of a quick revival of
confidence temporarily paralyzed pending
the election. Had it turned out differently,
instead of money being unlocked and seek
ing investment through natural channels,
an instant process of boarding would have
begun that would soon have precipitated
panic in every branch of business. There is
a vast difference between what is and what
might have been.

The bill which the fee and salary COM
mission has prepared to report to the Leg
isIature seems to be based upon a phiIo
sOphical basis-a given amount for each
ten thousand of population for county Of
ficers, with a percentage of the fees col
lected. One of the objections made by the
representatives of the county officers in
1895 was that population is not fair meas
ure of the work to be done by officers in
different counties, since of two counties
having the same population, one has as
sessments TO be made for gravel roads
county bitches, etc, while the other has
nothing of the kind Besides. percentage
of the fees will stimulate county officers to
push the collections where they would not
be eager If they receive no part of them.
No doubt the state treasury will be bene-
flied by the addition of the fee system
to the present salary law
Those interested in the largest compensa-
have labored in vain for it's repeal, should
be able to see that the bill of the commits
sion is fair compromise. The old fee and
salary system is out of the question The
people were opposed to it, and they are OPP
posed to it now. Any party which should
go back to it would suffer merited defeat.
1t is probable that the compensation of
county officers is not as large as under the
fee system which Democratic Legislatures
were never able to get rid of. But against
that system of larger compensation, due.
in part, to vague Interpretation of the
laws, it can be said that it offered a temp
tation to be candidates which has led
many men TO financial embarrassment and
not a few to financial ruin. 1t is probable
that more men have been hopelessly
crippled financially by being candidates for
county Office in this State than by any 9TH
er cause. Certain and moderate compensa-
ton will have a tendency to remove the
temptation.
The salaries of all the state officers, ex-
cept Governor are left as they are in the
present law. The head of the public school
system in this State is a position which de-
mands special training, ability and expert
ence. School teaching in Indiana has be-
come one of the learned professions. No
man can adequately discharge the exact
ing duties of superintendent of public in
struction without having given to prepara-
ton for the profession ofteaching as much
time as is given TO preparation for any
other profession. Such being the case, it
seems to belittle the educational interest of
Indiana to pay the head of the extensive
system of public instruction half the salary
paid to the heads of departments whose
duties are little more than clerical The
same is true of the judges of the Supreme
Court. Their salaries should be as large as
that of the secretary of state, and that of
the superintendent Of public instruction
should be as much as that of reporter of
the decisions Of the Supreme Court

naldo stand In a very different attitude to
the United States. The Cubans never re-
sisted the authority of the United States:
they never ambushed American soldiers,
nor did they treat prisoners cruelty. The
World, which is not always American, can
not see the humiliation of a practical sur
render TO Aguinaldo nor can it see that
in the opening of the Orient to the larger
commerce of the leading powers a foot
hold in the Philippines is as important to
American commercial interests as is Hong
Kong to Great Britain and ports in China
to Russia and Germany.
