JUSTICE HARLAN'S OPINION.


Attorney General Taylor I'm speaking of
the decision of the United States Su-
preme Court which was handed down on
embezzlement case, said: at read the
opinion as it appeared in the newspapers
and / think 1t was one OF the most whole
some that has been written In recent years.
1t clarified the air which has been filed
w..h dust by alleged constitutional lawyers.
Nothing could be better stated than Judge
1tarlans opinion when he declared that
this country had the unquestionabIe right
to take Cuba under its control in trust
until public order and civil authority were
restored and established throughout the
Island. The hair-splitting theories of mag
azine writer's on the constitutional status
OF Cuba are thrust rudely aside by this
splendid. wholesome opinion. There will be
no further rational doubt that we hold
Cuba In trust-not for the cruel Spaniard
nor the bandit insurgent. but for the great
middle class, tax-paying reconcentrado.
The land Is for the law-abiding, God-fear-
ing, tax-paying citizens OF Cuba
I'm the original declaration OF war this
country proclaimed its purpose IN driving
the Spaniards from Cuba was not to annex
Is binding"
Mr.. Taylor went on to say: after the
war was over Congress passed a law estab-
.iShing courts and a system of civil juris-
prudence throughout the island and pro-
vfded for an election to be held and estab-
lished clvli government in every par
ticular. Nicely claimed that this act fast
ened Cuba TO the United States practically
as a part of our domain. The Supreme
Court says. however, in this very vigorous
opinion that Congress only carried out in a
Just and proper way Its sacred trust as first
declared after the Maine had been
blown up

after raconteurs in the city. He compiled
several years ago delightful booklet of
"reminiscences OF his friendship with Lord
Coleridge
the United States courts since MT. Fish
packs retirement from that Office, knew
the dead lawyer intimately and admired
him intensely. Mr.. Fishback WIS man
or active intellect and keen perception,
said Mr.. Butler. Few. If any saw things
more Clearly or more quickly. His interest
IN public affairs was unflagging and he
spoke his mind with great independence
ana fearlessness on occasions when he
deemed it necessary to do So
A feature of Mr.. Fishback's last years
was MS keen, clear and forcfble letters on
subjects of interest and Importance which
ne contributed to local papers, invariably
above his own signature. These letters
were always read and more often than not
tney became the subject of spirited dis
cussion. He was a man who had the
FACULTY OF awakening thought in others,
developed TO a high degree.
GEN. HARRISON'S TRIBUTE.
Perhaps no other man in indianapolis Is
better qualified to pronounce a eulogy upon
William p. Fishback than his friend of
years standing and his longtime law
partner, General Benjamin Harrison. Gen.
Harrison gave out the following concern
ing Mr. Fishback yesterday:
81 had known Mr.. Fishback for a little
more than fifty years. We entered Miami
University, at Oxford, o., together in the
fall OF 1850. and became inmates of the
same boarding house. From that time
until his death there was an increasing
intimacy between US, and for some years
We were partners in the practice OF the
law
His death takes from me the oldest
friend L have in the city. and one OF the
dearest. He had a remarkably active and
acute mind and the faculty of clear and
pungent expression He was a lover of
the best books and wide and critical
reader He made a center in every COM
pany where he was-for he excelled as
conversationst-of the genial, witty
sort. He was never pedantic-
when he was caustic in his utterances
they were always directed toward some
thing that was mean, or that he believed
10 be mean. The weak were not the
targets of his sarcasm. The foibles of
good men appealed to his keen sense of
humor, and his wit often played about
them, but not vengefully.
He was in his heart compassionate and
sympathetic Injustice and oppression
could always count him an enemy. He
was an alert citizen, with high sense
o. responsibility in community affairs, both
of business and philanthropic sort. No
man is always right in such matters, but
Mr.. Fishback did what he thought was
right. not languidly, but with his might.
He gave a spice to things that seemed
tasteless and frightened every company
OF which he was a part. There are loves
and duties that remain to cheer and en-
gage US, but We shall miss our old friend
sadly"

NO AUTOPSY HELD.
The Cause of Mrs. Harry Days Death
Not Known.

The coroner last night ordered the county
undertaken to care for the body of Mrs.
Harry Day. which was taken to the city
morgue for the purpose of investigating
the cause of her death. The coroner made
no autopsy and said he was unable to as
certain the cause of death. which was
thought by some to have been the result
of poisonous medicine. He also said he
was unable to learn anything of her habits
for the reason that her husband, who is
well known as Reuben Glue" was so
much under the influence of liquor that
he could not talk intelligently. The police
went to Days house late Monday night
and found him drunk and lying upon the
floor. He was sent to headquarters and
locked up, but was released yesterday
morning. He returned to headquarters
shortly after his release again intoxicated
and hung about the station all day, finally
asking to be locked up again. Their three
children are being cared for by neighbors.
Druggist j. f. Frey, from whom Day
purchased medicine, complained yesterday
that the Journals account of the arrest
Monday night was so written that he feared
some persons would understand that he
had been arrested instead of Day.

RAISED BILLS.
Joseph Kelly Arrested for Attempting
to Pass One.

Joseph Kelly, one Of the men who have
for a number of days been passing and
attempting to pass 81 bills raised to imi-
tate bills of IS and $40 denominations, was
arrested yesterday by Bicycle Policemen
STREET. and Trimpe after attempting to pass
one of the bills at Mendel Bros grocery,
Michigan and West streets. He rendered
the bill in payment for pound of coffee.
The clerk knowing the manner in which
the denomination are printed saw at once
that the rendered bill was raised" and
called the police, and followed Kelly when
he left the store. Several have been passed
in stores on Washington street and In
diana avenue and some of these are now in
the hands of federal officers. who are seek
ing 10 locate the makers, Ii being thought
from the clever work which was apparent
on the bills that Kelly and another man,
who made his escape with the bill which
was returned to him by the clerk. are
only the tools of others in the securing
