A Successful strntagem.

When the electric telegraph was first
introduced into Chile, a stratagem was
resorted to in order to guard the posts
and wires against damage on the part
of the natives and to maintain the con-
nection between the strongholds on the
frontier There We're at the time be
tween 40 and so captive Indians in the
Chilean camp. General Pinto, in COM
mand of the operations. called them to-
wires. said:
do you see those wires?"
Yes, general.
II want you to remember not to go
near or touch them, for if you do your
hands will tie held, md you will be I'M
able to get away"
The Indians smiled incredulously.
Then the general made them each in
succession take hold of the wire at
both ends of an electric battery In full
operation. after which he exclaimed:
81 command you to let go the wire"
81 can't. NY hands are benumbed!'
cried each Indian
The battery was then stopped. Not
long after the general restored them to
liberty. giving them strict instructions
to keep the secret. This had the de.
sired effect. for as might be expected
the experience was related in the
strictest confidence to every man in the
tribe. and the telegraph remained un
mOleSted.

CATION to the Democratic national conven-
ton will be solidly in favor of an out-and-
out declaration for the free coinage of sill
yer at the ratio OF 1e to 1. In this the sill
verites may be overconfident unless the
majority enforces the unit rule, as it is
probable that anti-silver delegates may be
chosen from this district. Mr.. Martin in
an interview expresses the opinion that the
Democrats of Indiana will be as enthusi-
astic for free silver in 1900 as they were
in 1896 If Mr.. Martin believes this he Is
the victim of his own delusion. Four years
ago Democrats and others, whenever they
met, talked OF nothing else but Is to l.

party was so decidedly for silver that In

hcans are pleased with the election Of Mr.

Burial at Crown Hill.

The funeral of Major Robert Emmett was
held yesterday afternoon from Whitsett's
Chapel, which was profusely decorated
with beautiful floral designs. The services
were conducted by Rev. w. d. Engle, who
was assisted by a quartet, led by General
Richardson, which sang Lead, Kindly
Light" and Bear Him Away Tenderly.'
The closing hymn was composed by Gen.
eraf Richardson in memory of his de-
ceased comrade. Major Emmett had many
intimate friends here, and the attendance
was beyond the capacity of the chapel.
The burial was at Crown HILL The serv-
ices at the grave were also largely attend

History repeats itself in more ways than
one President James X. Polk, in his Sec
ond annual message, sent to Congress Dec.
s, 1916, made the following allusion to the
opposition some Americans were making to
the Mexican war:
The war has been represented as unjust
and unnecessary and one of aggression
on our part upon weak and injured
enemy. Such erroneous views, though en-
tertained by but few, have been widely and
extensively circulated, not only at home,
but have been spread throughout Mexico
and the whole world. more effectual
means could not have been devised to en-
courage the enemy and protract the war
than to advocate and adhere to their cause,
and thus give them laid and comfort"
That fits the Hoar-Pettigrew faction of
Aguinaldist sympathizers perfectly. There
are other ways of giving laid and comfort
to the enemies of the government than by
sending them munitions of war.

MUST HELP OUR FELLOWS.
Thomas ID. Reed Discusses the Duties
of the Human Race.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Thomas B. Reed,
speaking at the annual meeting of the Uni
versity Settlement Society, in this city,
said he had always been attracted by the
study of what might be termed the genesis
of the human race, and, in fact, he had
talked and written a great deal more on the
subject than he ever knew trying to put
property in the place of knowledge. There
is something in the nature of man." he
said. that makes us stop and succor the
weaker manor, If we do not, we suffer
pains and penalties ourselves. Men are
bound together, / say, by the Almighty.
If not out of courtesy or kindness, then
lows. 1t is not merely charity which con-
strains us-it is something stronger, selfish
ness, the great master of the human race.
ySelfishness will accomplish more than the
saintlier virtues. So 1t is to the interest of
each one of us that all should be lifted to
our own level, and that interest certainly
applies to this spot, where there are more
people to the square mile-I had almost
said to the square yard-than anywhere
else on the globe"
Mr.. Reed then discussed the old Ques-
ton as to why people will flock to the
cities, in spite of the fact that poets in
all ages have sung the advantages of the
country and all literature is filled with
accounts of the squalor of the cities. AS
an illustration of the difficulty of raising
people TO higher level he spoke of the
slight progress made by the first genera
ton of negroes born since the civil war.
So with the first serious efforts to educate
the Indians. I'VE educated one here and
there" said Mr. Reed. land then sent them
back to their own country, expecting them
to civilize the others. We did not know
that IL took education to appreciate educa-
ton There should be education enough to
keep the other countenance or none at all.
All over the world we must work TO bring
our fellows forward. That. in fact, Is the
one great work of men, and all earthly
monuments will pass away before the re-
suit of the work of that kind will cease,
for whenever man ceases to help his fellow
men the race will be no more.

thus keeping 1t out of circulation, he would
have been denounced by Mr.. Richardson
for conspiring with the money-dealers to
create stringency that they might ex-
tort an exorbitant' rate of interest from
borrowers. Now that Mr.. Gage has depos-
tied the money with all the national banks
asking for deposits upon security of bonds,
he is denounced for allowing the banks
TO have money TO loan TO the people, and
1t is stigmatized as gross favoritism to
the money power. The Richardson's of
the opposition would have been indignant
in any event because they are anxious to
divert the attention of the country from
party leaders who have not an issue on
which they can agree to go before the peo-
pie. That is the reason for Mr.. Richard
sons assault upon Mr.. Gage. 1t is one of
many that will be made.

Upholstered Furniture and Lounge
Workers Have q Conference.

About twenty Indianapolis manufacture
ers, representing the upholstered furniture
and lounge makers of this city met yester-
day and Tuesday in the Century Clubroom
at the Denison to make arrangements to
join the association now being formed in
Chicago to embrace all similar manufac-
turers in the country.
The firms represented yesterday were
the Kramer Manufacturing Company, the
Indianapolis Lounge Company, Thomas
Madden & Son, e l.. w. OFT Manufac-
turing Company. o. Z. Ward and several
of less Importance.
The objects sought for are said to be a
better regulation of sales and better
and more uniform system of terms and
credits.
In addition to this the association about
to be organized in Chicago which will be
the parent organization will take on many
of the features of similar association in
New York by which members in different
cities are given the benefit of system of
buying by which all the members are sup
piled from one source at prices lower than
II would be possible to secure from job
bers from manufacturers We're each to
act independently.
AS yet no name has been given to either
the Indianapolis association or the Chi
cago body, as 1t is understood from infor-
nation given out last night that consid-
able still remains to be done in the way
of organization.

Testimony to the efficiency of the exami-

The list of delinquent taxes published In
the Journal yesterday contained a thou
sand less pieces of property upon which
taxes are delinquent than the list pub
hshed year ago. This either means that
real estate owners have been more careful
to pay their taxes or that they have more
ready money which they can devote to that
purpose-probably the latter. The contrac-
ton of the lists in the country townships Is
the most significant. There are but nine
pieces Of property in Franklin and Pike
townships upon which the taxes are de-
linquent; in Warren township. eight. and III
Decatur. seven. In the latter the total de-
nnquency Is but $32.Os. The calamity
bowler alone will find no satisfaction in
such facts.
