Lafayette Courier
No act of the General Assembly of In
diana ever met with more general favor
among the people than the act of 1895 re-
quiring nonpartiSan management of our
benevolent institutions. When the act was
passed it met with the united opposition
of the Democrats in the Legislature and
with strong opposition from a few Repub-
lican members. During the six years the
law has been in force there has not been
a scandal of any kind in any one of the
institutions, and every of them has
been managed more economically than I'M
der the old law. Although the Republican
party has had complete control of the State
for four years, the superintendent of six
of these institutions are Democrats, ap-
pointed prior to the administration of Gov
ernor Mount. The managing boards of
these institutions are made up from both
parties, and employees are selected because
of their fitness, and not because of a po-
litical pull. In other words, Governor
Mount has enforced the law. 1t is crafty
ing to know this early that Colonel Dur
bin will not change the policy of the pres
ent Governor.-Seymour Republican.

Voting should be made so easy that any
man who can read a name can vote with
out having q nervous chill from fright lest
he mutilate his ballot.-Indianapolis Sun.
The unwieldy ballots are just as objec-
tionable in the country as IN the city. The
precincts in the city and country have
about the same number of voters If a
voting machine is best for the city IL would
be equally so for the country. There are
two features about the Australian system
we hope will never be changed-the ex-
clusiveEess, whereby a voter can vote as
he pleases without offense, and il disposed
to be corrupt cannot furnish his purchaser
any evidence of voting as bought. Little
or no votes will be bought under such cir
cumstances. The other is the exclusion of
al persons except officials from the polls.

THE BETTER RUSSIA.

If Russia continues its present role IN the
Chinese affair its rulers will have won the
right to claim the esteem of the civilized
Russian troops or one or two occasions.
but there is reason to suspect that these
reports originated in Shanghai. where the
making Of falsehoods seems the chief &C.
cupation of those connected with the press.
So far as the other powers are concerned,
Russia's conduct throughout seems to have
been characterized by straightforwardness
1t was feared when the troubles broke out
that Russia would seek territorial advan-
tage. but such is not the fact. Russia has
given it's influence in favor of retaining
the integrity of the territory of Japan. To
most conciliatory spirit. Russia was the
first to arrange for the withdrawal Of her
troops, and has consistently sustained the
proposal of the United States that arbitra-
ton is the best method Of settling the diff
ferences between China and the powers.
The foregoing facts naturally lead to an
inquiry as TO whether the people of the
United States have always been just in
their judgments regarding the ruling power
I'm Russia so far as il has relations with
the rest of the world. We were told, with
how much truth is not known, that Russia
desired the powers TO interfere when the
United States was about to make war with
Spain. So far as the popular information
goes the report comes from hostile sources.
Great Britain has always suspected and
been hostile to Russia. When the Car
asked the powers to consider the project
of disarmament he distrusted; yet his
government has done nothing TO cause sus-
picion that he was not acting in good faith
His policy in regard to the China affair
goes to prove that he in earnest in
his peaceful efforts.
Very naturally the United States does
not like the autocratic government of Rus
STA Besides. we have been persuaded that
its policy is cruel toward those who op-
pose the present system: but is there not
reason to believe that the worst phases
| of the regime of Russia have been pre-
| sented to US? We are told that the masses
are ignorant and degraded. but we forget
| that Car, by an edict abolished slavery
| and provided land for the serfs, and that
in doing thus he made host of powerful
enemies. We forget that while there is no
| national Legislature in which the interests
of the people can be considered the masses
have system of local self-government
| that can challenge comparison with that
| of other states. There is evidence that
| Russias rulers have decided to adopt the
| methods of other aggressive nations. 1t
Is founding technical schools and is other
wise preparing to become one of the COM
peting nations in the worlds commerce.
| The dangerous illness of the Car is de-
| plored because in the Chinese affair his
| government has been resolutely for the
| most humane and widely beneficial policy.

The correspondent of the Cincinnati En-
quirer complains that employers in this
city used improper influences to induce
their employees to vote for Mckinley
1t is not complained that any employee in
all Indiana was told that if he voted for
Bryan he would lose his place. The real
offending was that employers gave their
men to understand that they were very
dubious regarding the future if Bryan
should be elected. They did not do this
because they are Republicans, but because
they are business men. They said to men
interested in their business that they had
fears regarding ii if Mr.. Bryan were
elected. Thousands of manufacturers had
orders contingent upon the election of Nc
Kinley. which warranted them in doubling
the future if he was not reelected One
man, Mr. III. II. Hanna, is named by the
correspondent as using improper influences
with the men he employs in that he called
them together the day before election and
spoke to them of the situation-that he
felt that his business would be increased

doubted it if Mr.. Bryan should succeed.
