the abilities of the many races.
and tribes in the Philippine
islands. No man can yet say
but the degree of self-govern-
ment proposed by the Republic
ans may mean as much for Fill
Pine liberty as the protectorate
that is suggested by the Demo
Gratis. Theorists may weave
fine arguments over the differ
,ence in the probable policies,
but the voters of this nation
will not become greatly excited
over the possible differences of
lust how far or how soon to
withdraw United States author
ity and influence from the Pa
ciic islands. The sovereignty
over those islands passed from
Spain to the United States by
the adoption of the treaty, and
Bryan urged the adoption of
that treaty. Some of the ma
tives have resisted the author
ity of the United States, and
military force has been used by
this nation against those who
attack it's lawful control of it's
possessions. The suppression
of the rebellion is a first great
necessity. The nation that
would not do that much to main
tain it's sovereignty would de-
serve to have it's offers Of a pro-
s.tectorate rejected with scorn.
What a farce it would be to as
sumo a protectorate over a peo-
pie or territory that defed the
nation offering the protection!
The Indebtedness that must
vet surround the final DISPOSE
ton of the Philippine islands,
and the necessity of both great
political parties shaping their
declarations so as to govern
their future in accordance with
those developments there, rem
ders it quite doubtful if voters
will become greatly excited
over the question. The express
sions of candidatus during the
campaign may make the issue
more distinct and definite than
it now appears. If Bryan
should at any time demand the
prompt withdrawal of troops
and ships from the Philippine
islands, and the surrender of
sovereignty to the rebels, then
an issue would be prominent up
on which Republicans would
gladly meet him. The Americ-
an people desire that the nation
shall keep a strong influence in
the western part of the Pacific
ocean, and the retention of au-
thority in the Philippine islands
is the most feasible and accept
able way of doing so. That the
people of the islands should as
soon as possible have the larg.
est amount of self government
they are capable of properly
maintaining is also true, and to

Henry G. Payne Discusses the Vice
Presidential Nomination.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 15.-Henry c.
Payne, Of Wisconsin, member of the
subcommittee of the national Republican
committee having in charge the arrange
ments for holding the national convention
in this city in June, left to-day for Wash
ington, where the subcommittee will hold
a meeting this week. Mr.. Payne, includ-
ing Chairman Hanna and a number of
others. arrived last Friday, but all have
now departed. Before leaving to-day Com
mitteeman Payne spoke as follows on the
question OF the vice presidency:
ut has been conceded that President Nc
kinley Will be renOminated at this con-
vention by a unanimous vote, but when 1t
comes to the second place on the ticket
all the indications at this time point out
that there will likely be a large field of
candidates. To name the candidate now Is
an impossibility. The name of Cornelius
Bliss, Of New York, would be acceptable
to the people Of many of the States, both
East and West, but Mr.. Bliss has said that
under no consideration must his name be
used for the nomination. have heard the
name of Attorney General Griggs spoken
for the place, but it is not at all likely
that he would accept the nomination. For
some time past the West has been perfect
ly willing to allow the vice presidential
nomination to go to New York, but the
multiplicity of candidates in that State of
late has made the statesmen of the mid
die West look at the situation in diff
ferent light. If New York wants the nomi-
nation she must stop quarreling, or the
Mississippi valley will present a candidate
with strong backing. 1t has been a long
time snce the West has had Vice Presi-
dent and unless there is some decided
stand taken by the Eastern statesmen the
West will do just what she was ready to
do in the last presidential campaign. 1t
was only the great popularity and friend
ship entertained for the late Garrett A.
Hobart which prevented the West from
pushing her own candidate.

EMERGENCY SESSION.
The County Council in Session-Talk
of Voting Machines.

The County Council met yesterday In
special session to consider number of
estimates of expenses that did not
come up before the regular meet
ing of the council last fall.
The council was in session all day. but
made no appropriations. The experts who
are examining the books in the county
auditors office appeared before the council
and explained what they had done and
what they intended doing if the work was
allowed to proceed. They asked the council
to make an appropriation of $50 a week for
sixteen weeks from Jan. 1. They thought
they could complete the work in this length
of time. The County Commissioners con-
tract with the two experts calls for $40 a
week for each man. Members of the coun-
Gil appeared to be favorably impressed
with the statements made by the experts
and the appropriation will doubtless be
made.
The council received among other things
a communication from the County Commits
sioners, stating that numbers of citizens
have recommended that voting machines
be purchased by the county. The COM
missioners asked that the matter be con-
sidered by the council. 1t has been sug-
gested that the county issue about $4,000
of bonds with which to buy these machines.
The best machines, it is said, will cost
about $500 each. 1t is pointed out that with
the use of machines the precincts in the
county may be reduced to about $50. Those
who have inquired on the question think
the county would be able to save money
by introducing the machines In a commu-
nication which County Auditor Smith
sent to the council he asked for Sl2 $50
with which to pay off county warrants.
that were not presented until after the new
reform law went into effect the first of the
year. An approximation of $26 1925 was
asked to complete the new hospital for the
incurable insane. which is being built at
Julietta. Among the other appropriations
asked for is SIS, 03316 to complete the Cen
tral-avenue bridge over Fall creek: s., SAC. go
for seven small township bridges, and
$625 for sheriff's per diem in the Criminal
Court. The latter appropriation is asked
for by Judge Afford, who stated that the
council failed to make this appropriation
at it's regular sitting.

ALLEN COUNTY COURTHOUSE.
While It's Cost Is Enormous, IL Is a
Modern Structure.

While 1t is true that the Allen county
courthouse is being built at an enormous
expense, which will probably result in con-
siderable political friction in coming cam
paigns, the fact still remains that it is one
of the most modern buildings in Indiana.
1t is unsurpassed in architectural construc-
ton, being designed with the express pur-
pose of doing away with the ill-smelling
Railways and the hundred and one incon-
veniences usually found i'm public buildings
throughout the State.
The scientific methods used In this mod
ern courthouse for regulating heat, light
and ventilation are of such recent invention
that it is said that the Indiana statehouse
and the Marion county courthouse do not
compare with IL.
The FIT. Wayne courthouse is POP feet from
summit of dome to the base, and is sup
piled in every room from turret to founda-
ton with thermostats, hot air registers,
cold air shafts. inside telephone. electric
light system, double elevators and GRIM
inal cells for convenience during trials
The courtrooms. four in number, are so
constructed that the noise, dust and con-
fusion of the street cannot reach them.

De KaIb County Out of Debt.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
AUBURN, Ind, Jan. 15.-For the first
time in twenty-five years De Kalb county
is out of debt 1t was unfortunate, how
ever, that such were the existing circum-
stances, as there has been no public i'm
provements entailing the expenditures Of
the county funds, and with tax levy
varying from 3O15 to 9O12 on the SlOO valua-
ton, the debt increased instead of de-
creased. The leak was not discovered, how
ever, until the investigation of the books
of county officials in 1896, when more than
a half dozen were found to be embeZzlers
After all outstanding orders are met there
Is a cash balance on hand of S,062.76. In
addition to the regular taxes received and
disbursed as shown therein, the county
collected and paid to the State treasury
the sum of $50 1885. The county indebted
ness before the books were investigated
was over $4,000. With the amount secured
from defaulting county officials and their
bondsmen, and careful and economical
expenditure OF the funds by the commits
sioners, the debt is now wiped out.
