TO FIGHT RIPPER" BILL.
Pittsburg's Mayor and Controller VIII
Appeal to Highest Courts.

PITTSBURG, March 1.-The P~ittsburg
ripper bill, which passed the Legislature
yesterday, will be fought vigorously by the
present city officers of Pittsburg and Ale
ghany, who. under the provisions of the
new act. are legislated out of office. In a
signed statement Mayor VIM. j. Diehl, of
this city, says he will retain his position as
mayor of Pittsburg until the highest courts
declare otherwise. Without the seal of
Pittsburg no municipal acts are legal, and
he asserts that he will keep the seal until
the Supreme Court of the United States de-
cides that he has no right to use it. The
battle-ground, he says, will be in the courts
and not in the City Hall, as a seat in his
Office will not vest the new recorder with
the right to be the eity's executive. When
the new charter will become effective is a
question. The opponents of the bill figure
not until August or September, even
though the act should be declared consti-
tutiOnal, while its advocates expect 10 take
control as soon as the Governor appoints
the recorder, or not later than the LIST of
next month.
This afternoon Controller Lewis an
nounced that after Governor Stone signs
come a law he Will refuse to recognize
either Mayor Diehl or the new recorder. or
sign their warrants. until the courts decide
who is the chief executive of the city. This
would result in the stoppage of all city
work and make it impossible to pay the
officials or employees pending the settle
ment of the litigation.

SMALLER APPROPRIATION BILL.

II is cause for satisfaction that the APP
preparations which the present Legislature
viii vote will be less than those of the
Legislature OF 1899. The appropriations
were unusually large two years ago be-
cause large sum Of money were needed
for the construction OF buildings at the
R~eformatory and elsewhere. The tenden-
cy of State governments is to greater and
greater expenditure. Old and new States
alike have greatly increased their expen-
ditures in every direction during the past
ten or fifteen years. New York has in
creased more than 80 per cent. in ten years.
The increase i'm Illinois has been very
great. Even in some of the New England
States new institutions and new boards
have doubled the expense in thirty years.
Legislatures have been carried away with
the fads Of specialists and have made
boards and commissions until they have
become a burden to the people. There are
States which nave two or three asylums
for insane where one large one centrally
located. would be better: three or four
weak normal schools, where one strong
enc would better serve the educational
interests and cost less. The same States
are brrdened with corr missions and boards,
the expense of which has outgrown what
ever usefulness they may have had. In
New York Governor Odell has picked out
a considerable number of boards and COM
missions for the executioner, but killing
is a more difficult task than preserving.
Indiana has thus far resisted these costly
tendencies. for which great credit is dee
10 past Legislatures. This Legislature,
particularly the House. has set it's face
against the creation of new institutions,
new boards. and generally new schemes
for the speedy elevation of the people,
and particularly for the providing of SAL
aries for several persons VINO are weary Of
self-support. Because of this resistance
chiefly on the part of the House. the ap-
propriations of this Legislature promise to
be $4,000 less thar those of the last. unless
Senate and House shall feel at liberty to
increase the amounts recommended by the
finance and ways and means committees.
The estimates of these committees are
based upon the judgments of the legislative
committees which visited all the State in
stitutions and the representations of Of
ficials. Such being the case. it is fair to
assume that the recommendations of the
committees are dictated by intelligence
and a spirit of conservative liberality.

BREWER TRUST IN STRAITS.
Maryland Company Defaults Interest
on s5,5OO,OcO Bonds.

BALTIMORE. Md, March 1.-The inter-
est on the s.. 500.0OO 6 per cent. bonds issued
by the Maryland Brewing Company, due
to-day. was not paid. and the probability is
that the concern Will shortly pass into the
hands of a receiver for the purpose OF fore
closing the mortgage and reorganizing the
company. The Maryland Brewing Com
pany was organized about two years ago
by the consolidation of seventeen of the
twenty-one breweries then IN operation in
this city. 1t was capitalized at Sc. SOC. 900.
and the bonds upon which default was
made to-day were fiOated at 100. Since that
time all classes of the company's securities
have teadily declined until the bonds have
sold as low as 49. A receivership was final
ly decided upon by the management. The
firm OF Sprey, Jones * Co, the original
promoters OF the scheme, offered TO ad-
vance the money TO pay the interest, but
the offer was not accepted. Sprey. Jones *
Co. will oppose the receiyership. Ar2d-
ment was heard In the Circuit Court to-day
and the matter went over for future dis
custom.

DIFFICULTIES OF THE president.

During the last Congress several excel
lent editors were confident that the Presi-
dent was not using his influence as he
should to induce Congress to enact sound
money legislation, and one of them de-
clared that 1t was the duty of the Presi-
dent, as the head of the ruling party. to
make himself felt in the shaping of legis-
lation. In that event he would be the
leader of his party. The editor went so far
as to accuse the President of weakness for
allowing his party to drift and for not
keeping the party pledges. In time the
legislation demanded came along. 1t was
not all that many men desired. but it met
the quite general approval of the country.
How far the President impressed himself
upon the Republican leaders in Congress
will never be known. but there is no doubt
that he was in consultation with them.
Now one of these same editors is de-
nouncing the President for his efforts to
induce Congress to do the things which
he desires to have done. The House, we
are told by the editors Washington CORE
spondent, simply registers the will of the
Il CAb VIZ AC t0RAOS'Oo ~ VII DC
and his friends buy up senators right and
left. 1t was the threat Of an extra session
which caused the Democrats in the Senate
to permit the adoption of the Philippine
and Cuban amendments TO an appropriation
bill. The Missouri senator's were made
acquiescent by the promise of the dona-
ton of S 100000 for the ST. Louis expo
sition. and other Southern senator's were
silenced by the generosity of the river and
harbor appropriation bill. Upon the as
sumption that these statements contain the
element of truthfulness. those editors de-
nounce the President for usurping the
functions of the Senate and the House.
There is no doubt that the President told
Congress that unless there should be some
legislation regarding Cuba and the Phil
ippines he would be obliged to call an ex-
ira session. AS he did not make the river
and harbor appropriation and had no
power over the St. Louis appropriation,
dent could have used these measures to
influence or, to use the word of the critic,
"debauch' Democratic senators. The point
is that the President. whoever he may be,
cannot escape censure III he does not
seem 10 impress his views upon Congress
he is weak: If he does he has assumed the
role of dictator. and pubic attention is
called to visions of an obedient Congress
and of advancing despotism. Still, few
people seem alarmed. and most are glad
there will not be an extra session.

II ISLE OF PINES.

The Cuban response to the demands of
the United States practically comedies all
the points except two. which are conspicu-
ously ignored. These are Paragraphs 8 and
Z. as follows:
VI. That the Isle of Pines shall be
omitted from the proposed constitutional
boundaries of Cuba, the title thereto be-
ing left 10 future adjustment 0y treaty.
VII. That to enable the United States
TO maintain the independence of Cuba, and
10 protect the people thereof. as well as
for it's own defense. the government of
Cuba will sell or lease 20 the United States
lands necessary for cOaling or naval sta
lions at certain specified points, to be
agreed upon with the President of the
United States.
The question of naval stations is one of
considerable Importance. but will not be
considered in this article. The silence of
the Cuban convention regarding the Isle
OF Pines seems TO indicate unwillingness
to make any concession on that point. 1t
will be noticed this government does not
assert its title 10 the Isle of Pines, but
asks that for the present it be omitted
from the proposed constitutional boun-
daries of Cuba and left open for future
adjustment.
The language of the treaty OF Paris is
vague enough to furnish the basis OF a
dispute as to the ownership of the Isle
OF Pines. This island. which lies nfty miles
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1901-03-02

south OF Cuba. is sixty miles long by fifty
TO nfty-ive miles wide. Although sepa-
rated from Cuba by fifty miles OF water it
was, under Spanish rule. treated as part
OF the island. The treaty OF Paris makes
no separate mention of it. The treaty says
Spain relinquishes all claim of sovereignty
over and title TO Cuba" The relinquish-
ment of sovereignty over Cuba carried with
IL the REIMBURSEMENT of sovereignty over
the Isle of Pines, but did not fix the flu
ture status Of the island. The article rela-
tive 10 Porto Rico says: Spain cedes 10
the United States the Island of Porto
Rico and other islands now under Spanish
sovereignty in the West Indies" y fair
construction of this would make it include
all other islands owned by Spain in the
West Indies. except Cuba, which she re-
linquished without ceding. Article s of the
treaty says: Spain relinquishes in Cuba
and cedes in Porto Rico and other Stands
in the West Indies, all buildings. wharves.
barracks, forts, structures" etc. Again it
may be asked what is meant by the term
"other islands," The United States has
no claim to Cuba. but under the treaty it
may fairly claim all other islands in the
West Indies formerly owned by Spain.
except Cuba. Geographically the Isle of
Pines is no more a part of Cuba than are
the Bahama islands or Martinique, which
lie only a little farther east of Cuba than
the Isle of Pines does south. 1t is OF little
account to Cuba, but it can be made a
valuable possession by the United States.
AS we are not demanding any war indem-
nifty from Cuba for driving the Spanish
out she ought to be willing to quitcLaim
the Isle of Pines TO us without question.

ful was the one prepared by Senator Coco

the institutions shall file financial state

of each fiscal year showing receipts, dis
bursements. etc, and, in fact. requires
them before drawing any money at any
time TO make certain showings OF thelr
financial condition.. n similar bill was III
PRODUCED in the House by Representative
James.
LACKED A MAJORITY.
Senate bill No. 253, by Mr.. Johnston. re-
lating 10 the taxation levied by cities, failed
TO pass for lack of a constitutional major
ity. When the measure was read Speaker
Artman said he doubted the constitutional
ity of the measure, because OF the fact that
ie provided for the raising of revenue, and
he thought it should have originated in-the
House. Senator Brooks's bill, amending the
present laws touching the writing and
revocation of wills. also failed for want of
a constitutional majority, the vote being
a vote of 65 to 10. This is Senator Minors
bill which forbids county superintendent
from conducting or assisting in the con-
Quoting OF a private or county normal
school.
Just before noon Representative Marshall
again stirred up Mr.. Louttit and other
members of the minority. Earlier in the
f, day LOuttit had sent up a motion asking
that the vote by which Senate bill No. liz.
was advanced to third reading, be recon
s'dered. Mr.. Louttit's motion was read,
but the gentleman did not push the matter
and other business was taken up. This
proved to be a shrewd move on the part
of Mr.. Louttit, but it failed to win. Mr..
Marshall heard a rumor that the Democrats
were intending to caucus on the Fort
Wayne bill at noon. and he proceeded to
spoil the scheme. He did this by calling
up the motion Mr.. Louttit had made earlier
In the morning, and this was followed by
a motion to table the Louttit motion. The
latter move was successful and the motion
to reconsider cannot again be brought up.

Members of the Grant family, who have
associations in several States, nave been
holding their annual reunion. Their dinner
menu card in New York contained the vari-
Gus theories concerning the origin of the
family. The Rev. Arthur III. Grant believes
that it is of Scotch origin, the Rev. Roland
d. Grant that it is of Gallo or Norman
blood, but the Rt. Rev. Phelim O'Toole, in
his famous work on the Round Towers of
Ireland" asserted that the Grants were a
family antedating the birth of the first
Irish kings. That discussion may be we'll
enough for Grants in general, but the par
ticular Grant who made the name famous
was not concerned about the antiquity of
his family.
