treatment Of ex-Attorney General Monnett.
As a Republican he was given the two
elections. which is the custom Of the party
in that State. He began suits against sew
eral combinations. particularly the Stand
ard oil Company. which were not success
full. Two years ago he demanded OF the
Republicans a third nomination, which was
not given him. He then posed as a martyr
of the trusts. Last year he got into the
Bryan band wagon and lifted up his voice
against the Republicans las the party OF
trusts. Early in the canvass he announced
himself a candidate for the nomination for
attorney general as the foe OF trusts. He
was rejected for a Democrat living In the
same part OF the State. whom Mcnnett's
friends had denounced as an attorney Of the
Standard oil Company. receiving about
one-fourth Of the vote Of the convention.
The Ohio Democrats have no use for such
fresh converts.

That is a curious request which the
Italian consul at Chicago makes OF the
Governor OF Indiana through the State De-
pGrtment at Washington 10 aid the consul
in obtaining access to and an interview
with certain Italians who were injured In a
railroad wreck a few weeks ago and who
are now under treatment in the Wabash
Railroad hospital at Peru. The consul says
his countrymen need aid and advice and
cannot speak English. but that the local
railroad authorities refuse to let him have
any communication with them. 1t hay be
that higher officials will reverse this action
as a matter of courtesy, but there can be
no question of right in the case. The in
tured Italians are aliens, having been in
the United States only a short time. and
it is doubtful If they would nave a legal
claim for damages against the railroad
company, 1t may be that the railroad au-
thorities declined TO let the consul COM
municate with the injured Italians lest he
should interfere in the settlement of claims
now in process of adjustment. The COM
pany would have no right to keep the
Italians in enforced confinement. but, on
the other hand, 1t has a right TO close the
doors of its hospital against the consul If
it wishes TO.

was the principal speaker at the annual
to-day. His subject was Our Place in the
international Family and he said in part:
1.-The United States is now regarded as a
factor and an important one in the solu-
ton Of the worlds problems in which she
is interested. Foreign governments which
have long neglected claims arising from
mistreatment of our citizens no longer per-
nit disrespectful conduct towards them
and are not unmindful of their rights. The
world has come TO know that to be an
American citizen in every quarter OF the
globe implies the protection OF a nation
alive TO the interests OF its citizens. how
ever distant. however humble. This by no
means indicates that We have become or
are likely 10 be a world power in the sense
that we shall adopt the policy or promoting
our own ACKNOWLEDGMENT at the expense of
weak and defenseless people. IL does mean
the maintenance of our rights abroad
wherever they may be assailed.
THAT our relations 10 the outside world
will be extended and opportunity for trade
and greatly advanced cannot be
doubted. We shall have an isthmian canal.
This new touch with the affairs OF the
world brings new opportunities and in
wolves new responsibilities. Our widening
horizon will give us clearer, as we'll as
broader visions. We must prepare TO ac-
quit ourselves In these new relations in a
manner creditable TO our traditions. We
must never lose sight OF the fundamental
principles of our government. This obliga-
ton is all the more binding now that a de-
cision of the Supreme Court OF the United
States has made the government and dis
position of the Islands practically one OF
policy to be determined by the American

A USELES

Judge Stotsenburg, of New Albany,
whose son, the gallant colonel Of the First
Colorado Regiment. was killed In Luzon.
has an interview in the last issue of the
Sentinel. in which he protests against
making anti-imperialism a leading issue,
as that paper is now doing. Because of
some expression in the interview. the Senti-
mel petulantly remarks that Judge Stotsen-
burg himself is half imperialIst. There is
reason to believe that if the Sentinel could
hear the expressions of a large number of
Democrats. it would find many who be-
lieve that there is nothing in Imperialism
as an issue. Last year when the situation
in the Philippines was unfavorable, a des-
perate effort was made by Mr.. Bryan and
his supporters to make anti-imperialism
an issue. Those calling themselves anti
imperialists. among whom were a number of
able men. held a convention here. or. rath-
er, a liberty congress. to promote Mr.. Bry-
ans candidacy as an anti-imperialist, but
it did not have any weight with the coun-
try at large. Men who had fought Mr.. Bry-
an as gold advocates in 1896 declared the

The reputation of Mr.. Bryan by the
Ohio Democratic convention is a signif-
cant political sign. The reputation was
as conspicuous as IT was complete. There
was nothing indirect or roundabout In ii,
no mincing of phrases or action. The reso-
lutlons did not mention Bryan or silver,
the convention rejected a resolution re-
affirming the Kansas City platform by a
vote of $50 10 s. refused to allow Mr..
Bryan's portrait to be carried 10 the stage,
and the delegates finally trampled 1t under
foot on the floor where II was thrown.
This in the Democratic convention OF a
State which a year ago reafirmed the Chi
cage platform of 1896. instructed its dele
gates to vote for the nomination of Bryan
and in the election gave him nearly 475.0 900
votes. So sudden a change of front and
so emphatic a reputation of a recent
leader has no parallel in American politics.
AS the action of the Ohio convention will
probably be followed by all the Demo-
cratic conventions to meet this year Ii may
be construed as the beginning OF a popu-
lar wave which will sweep Mr.. Bryan into
political oblivion. IL means that even the
Democratic party knows when ii has had
enough OF false issues and blind leaders.
1t means that the party is recovering from
it's debauch of Populism and Organism.
and that in the next campaign its brains
will be at the front instead of at the rear.
The complete history of the rise and fall
of Bryan will include that also of Grover
Cleveland. who is in every respect his po-
litical opposite. One represented the best
elements and tendencies of the Democratic
party as distinctly as the other did its
worst. Never since the civil war has the
party appeared as well or deserved as we'll
as it did during Mr.. Cleveland's two adj
ministrations. and this i'm spite of some
g~rievous mistakes on his part. He stood
as impregnable as the rock of Gibraltar
against the waves of reputation and
showed a willingness to sacrifice his popu-
larity with his, party rather than betray
the national honor and credit. For this
the party pulled him down and exalted
Bryan In his place. The national conven-
ton that nominated Bryan the first time
Missed the name of Cleveland and received
with a yell of derision a resolution indors-
ing his administration. The exaltation of
Bryan would not ave been complete with
out the humiliation of Cleveland. The ma
ton convention OF 1900 emphasized the
folly OF 1896 by r~eaffirming the platform
and renominating the candidate Of that
year. A second defeat was followed by in
1;oo tio,c that tho oort,. I,ou, u-b., q bo1
had enough of that kind of leadership. and
now the action of the Ohio convention
sounds the keynote of a general repudia-
ton of Bryan. No other passage in our
political history marks so distinctly the
sudden rise and equally sudden fall OF an
arrant demagOgue.

The death of a man who was a member
of Congress three terms and who was the
chairman of one of the most important
committees in the House In the United
States Soldiers Home is an incident which
should cause many ambitious young men
TO pause for elaboration. This man had a
fair law practice when he went to Con-
gress. but he could not recover 1t on his
return. Soon i'll health came. with poverty.
which made 1t necessary for him to go TO
the Home. In Indiana there are scores of
young men in both parties who are getting
a hold slowly. but who are impatient to
go TO Congress. risking future prospects
to seize positions in which they would not
make a mark. but holding them long
enough TO get out of any business they
we're in.

cused of the murder of little Alice Cothrel
at Wallen, will tomorrow demand the re-
lease of the Sampleton girl on a writ of
habcas corpus. She is retained as a wit
ness for the State. She was again ques-
toned closely to-day. but the results were
not announced, except to say that the
States case was strengthened.
The Rev. Ralph g. Jones, of Huntertown,
who preached the Cothrell funeral sermon,
created a sensation by charging the au-
thorities with failing TO prosecute Dunn
for former offenses of kindred nature and
thereby paving the way for this. 1t trans
pires that Dunn's brother is the president
of a Southern railroad and lives in New
Orleans.

The objection to sentences for life for
murderers is emphasized i'm the case OF
the two Younger brothers, who have been
%pardoned in Minnesota. The gang was
organized to rob banks and trains, and
to murder when necessary. Nine murders
stand charged TO the gang. and the wreck
ing of a train. They were such despera-
does that they robbed the Kansas City
Fair Association OF $4,000 in the presence
of 10000 people. When finally secured in
Minnesota they pleaded guilty, and were
sentenced to State prison for life. One of
them died. and now the other two are
given their liberty. If official sympathy
can be aroused In the case of the Younger
brothers there is no murderer who may
not hope to receive it. The men were con-
victed in 1876.

The primary election law is infinitely bet
ter than no law. 1t provides that none but
members of a party residing in the precinct
shall vote. The polls will be open from il
o'clock a. m. 70 s p. m. At the voting place
but one voter at a time will be admitted to
the room which the primary officers occupy.
In that room will be the ballots, pencils and
table on which to mark the names of the
men whom the voter desires for candi
dates. The voter marks his ballot. folds
it and sees it put into the ballot box. Ex-
cept the feature of the secret booth, the
arrangements are the same as for a gen.
eral election. There is every opportunity
to challenge. Under such conditions it
seems to be the duty of every Republican
who desires better methods to attend the
primaries.
