Among numerous inaccuracies
IN the anonymous bulletins indus
triously circulated through the
mails, for which no one is respon-
sible, is the assertion that the city
tax rate amounts to So. % H on the
hundred dollars. Thecity tax rate
is Is cents on each hundred doll
ars. This is the limit fixed by
law. 1t is true we pay so cents on
the hundred dollars for schoolpur-
poses, but this was fixed by the
people independent Of the regular
city tax rate, and over which the
City Council has no control what

LET DURBIN ANSWER NOW.

Under the above caption the In
dianapolis CInd.) State Sentinel
has the following:
Governor Durbin, instead OF
saving himself from the contempt
Of al law-abiding. murder hating
citizens through his procrastina-
uon, is merely emphasizing the
lawlessness OF his course. While
there never has been a time when
an Indiana governor has had the
right to violate the constitution by
refusing to honor the requisition
of the Kentucky executive, the eX.
element which Immediately fol
lowed the cowardly crime furnish
cd very plausible preteXt. Now
there is absolutely no excuse for
protecting the refugees. The
question OF innocence or guilt is
something with which Governor
Durbin has no lust concern. If
he really desires to do his plain
duty it is enough for him that the
most prominent, laW-abiding citi-
izens Of an old and friendly com
monwealth have reasons TO believe
that Taylor and Finley knew some
thing about the conspiracy and
have proceeded in the lawful way
to secure an Investigation His
present course therefore is not
only an insult to the people Of
Kentucky, but is an outrageous
Misrepresentation of sentiment in
Indiana.
T' O. -~-~ Do~h'a knew
when the acquisitions were pre-
sented He knew-for he is an
intelligent man-that it was his
duty to honor the acquisitions
without delay He knew that
public sentiment was overwhelm-
ingly against the anarchistic policy
to which some few shysters in the
republican party have pledged

conversation out in the state du-
ring the last ten days The criti-
cism of broad-minded and conser-
vative republicans outside the ring
has been as severe as that Of the
democrats. Republican papers
are rising above the consideration
Of petty politics and demanding
the execution of the laws.
If Governor Durbin has already
determined upon his decision
and every one knows that he has
let him make his announcement
now.
The State Sentinel does not
miss the mark. There is a con-
stitutional policy between States
by which no criminal is allowed to
take hiding in another State. 1t
is termed requisition. The only
question is this: Who is-it that
has asked for a citizen in hiding
in another State, and if a Governor
or another of authority'it becomes
the duty Of the Governor upon
whom the requisition is made to
turn the refugee over to the au-
thorities from the State from
which he has fled. There is no

Judge John d. Young. now a

there lives none more honest and
reliable, ,-saysthat in 1867 as Dem
ocratic nominee for Congress, he
made race against republican
nominee and def c a e d II i m
in the district by a majority in
round numbers of 1900. The Ma
tional Election Commission admit
ted the majority, but claimed the
Judge was disqualified because Of
the charge that he had been dis
loyal to the Government, Judge
Young had ever been a loyal citi-
zen and did not take up arms
against the Union. The matter
was referred to Congress and
without the sembAnce OF proof, the

provide for the establishment oi
boards Of Education" The sub
stance of these sections are as fol
lows: The City Council may al
any time pass an ordinance estab-
fishing a Board OF Education and
appoint the members thereof and
such appointees will hold their Of
fees until the next regular cleo
tion following their appointment.
This Board of Education would
have entire control Of all public
schools Of the city, both white and
! tolored, and they would be re-
Quired under the law to maintain
schools for both white and colored
children who resided in the city.
The taxes collected for school pur-
poses would all go into one gener-
! al fund and all public schools in
the city would be maintained out
Of this fund. The colored people
Of this city pay taxes on an eX7
ceedingly small amount Of proper
ty as compared with the white peo-
pie and the effect of the passage OF
such an ordinance would be to tax
the white people to keep up the
colored schools and the annual tax
rate of 80 cts, which the white
people now pay under the present
system would have to be nearly
doubled in order to meet the new
obligation Of keeping up the color
ed schools. Under the present
arrangement each race supports
its own schools and to every fair
minded man this arrangement is
eminently proper. During the
present city administration great
pressure was brought to bear on
those in control by the principal
and trustees OF the colored school
in this city to establish the Board
OF Education above referred to,
but these efforts were unsuCcess-
ful and it is now reported that in
consideration Of the votes Of the
two negroes from the Third Ward
for certain Republicans for the va
rious offices of this city the Re
publican nominees for members of
the City Council will, if elected,
pass an ordinance establishing the
