INDIANA EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Hon. Jerry Simpson has been pre-
sented with a sOckless grandson. 1t is
purely a case of heridity. The Simpsons
were all that way.-Terre Haute Express.

Richmond Item.
Democratic newspapers in Ohio are work
ing overtime telling of discord among Buck
eye Republicans. We notice that every
time election rolls around the G.. o. Z.
is always together and puts up a big ma
Jority, and that is enough for us.--Koko-
mo News.
To enliven the Christmas festivities a
prominent Democrat of Elwood has de-
serted his party and espoused Republican
ism. If the exodus begins this early in
the campaign what will the harvest be
when the ideS of next November come?
-Noblesville Ledger.
If there is ever any amendment Of the
Monroe doctrine it ought to be in the form
of a clause compelling the South American
nations TO submit all their differences TO
arbitration. 1t might be hard on the opera
bouffe militarists of those countries, but
1t would be of vast benefit to commercial
interests.-Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette.
President Schwab, of the United States
Steel Corporation, told a truth not gen.
orally recognized in an address last Sat
urday evening in Chicago. He said:
Many people imagine that the bonds Of
the United States Steel Company are a
first mortgage on its great properties
They are not. If you give the subject
a moments thought you will see that the
first mortgage is that which is owed to
labor. The United States Steel Corpora
ton pays to labor $3.50, 600 year, equiv
alent to a mortgage debt of $4,000, 900 900
on the property This statement is a fact,
but is not generally recognized. Thus all
the great properties of that great con-
Germ are subject to the demands of labor
first. Is there any interest so well protect
ed as the interests of labor? Hardly.-Elk-
hart Review.

Justice Jerome, district attorney-elect Of
New York, continues to maintain his repu-
tation as a man of courageous convictions.
When asked regarding his policy with ref
erence to enforcing the Sunday laws. he
said:
1t is not for me to say whether I think
that the present Sunday laws should be
enforced or not. 1t will be my duty as dis
trtct attorney to prosecute those persons
whom the police choose to arrest My duty
as district attorney is a plain matter-of-
fact duty Of prosecuting breakers of the
law. / do not care continental what the
politicians decide, way or another.
The politicians, many of them, are towards,
with their ears to the ground They are
afraid to do this thing or that thing be-
cause they might ALLEVIATE this class or that
class of voters.
1t is unusual and refreshing to find an Of
ficer whose duty it is to enforce the law
who sees it as clearly.

The proposition to increase the probation
before naturalization to more than five
years is one of doubtful propriety. With
the requirement that the applicant shall be
knowledge of our form Of government, five
years is long enough. Indeed. it might be
made shorter If a thorough examination
should disclose the intelligence OF the ap-
plicant relative to our institutions. AT the
same time. no foreigner should be per-
mitted to'vote. as is authorized in this and
several Western States after a short period
of residence and previous to complete nat
uralization. None but United States citi-
zens should vote.

Admiral Dewey could not have appended
the opinion he did TO the findings of the
court AS TO the dispatch, it has been
published time and again After the cam
paign was over President Mckinley sent
the appointments of Sampson and Schley to
the Senate for rear admirals. There being
some contention over confirmation, the
dispatch was sent TO the Senate. 1t was
President McKinley's justification for put
ting SIMPSONS name before that of Schley
That President Mckinley did not think the
mistakes OF the earlier period, when Ad-
miral Schley had an independent command
were of sufficient Importance to offset his
excellent service in the battle Of July is
evident by his appointment of that Of
fcer. The late Presidents views occupy
the middle ground between the Sampson
and Schley partisans, which is a just dis
position of the affair

The Boston Journal, which usually sup
ports Boston men, finds that lit is not
pleasant to think that General Miles has
quarreled with Secretary Root as he quar-
relied with Secretary Alger," and, it might
have added, with the predecessor of Gen
eral Alger. No man has been so we'll
treated by the Mckinley administration
and the Republican Congress, which made
it possible for him to be lieutenant general.
When Secretary Root entered the War De-
partment he did whatever he could to
maintain friendly relations with General
Miles, but in vain.

The United States Senate is a continuing
body, yet it is constantly changing. The new
congressional directory shows that there
are only three men in the Senate who were
there when General Grant ceased to be
President, twenty-four years ago. There
are only seven senators who were in Of
flee during President Hayess term, only
twelve who were in the body when Arthur
was President, and only eighteen who
served during Grover Cleveland's first term.
They come and go in regular procession.

The latest plan proposed for reciprocity
with Cuba is the enactment of a law pro-
viding for tariff reductions on Cuban sugar
and tobacco. to take effect whenever the
Cuban government, now in process of for
nation, shall make corresponding or COM
pensating tariff concessions on certain i'm
portant products Of the United States.
Some members of Congress are opposed to
making any tariff concessions whatever to
Cuba. but it is likely that something like
the above will be adopted.

The New York Sun publishes some statis-
tics OF Henry b. Joy. of Michigan, relative
TO the beet sugar industry in that State.
He declares that the quantity of beet sugar
made in Michigan approaches 1900 tons,
or 100000 pounds. At four cents a
pound S6.OO0ocO would be received for the
output Mr.. Joy also tells the Sun that
$4,000 men. women and children in Michi-
gan are alone dependent upon the beet
sugar industry. II the entire value of the
crop went to the 1s2.OOO people each would
receive $45.45. assuming that those who
furnish the capital and own the mills get
nothing. There appears to be something
wrong with Mr. joys figures.

some Of their own manufacturers and bust
ness men have said practically the same
thing. Lack OF enterprise, adherence to
old methods and unwillingness to adopt
new ideas and labor-saving machines have
been named repeatedly among the causes
Of the decline of British trade, and these
are among the causes named by Consul
Boyle. His report may incite British
manufacturers to greater efforts to re-
cover lost ground. but it will not be easily
done

CROKER IN INDIANA.

An Indianapolis correspondent of the New
York Sun has discovered that the Hon.
Richard Croker did not come to Indiana
for his health. but to dig pits into which
Ex-Governor David B. Hill may fall. This
correspondent, who appears to know it all.
says that ex-Mayor Taggart, intent on the
national craftsmanship, invited Mr.. Croker
to visit him at French Lick before the
municipal election in this city and the over
throw of Tammany in November. At that
time Mr.. Taggart, the Sun writer says, in
vited considerable number of the leading
Democrats in the State to meet the Tam
many magnate at his hostelry. Quite a
large number accepted and many Demo-
Gratis would have been at French Lick to
greet the most potential Democratic leader
in the country. The overthrow of the
Croker machine produced a sudden cooling
of the desire to meet Mr.. Croker. Those
Indiana Democrats who were so anxious to
of the wickedness of Tammany, although
everybody else knew it. His defeat and the
editorial of the Sentinel denouncing Croker
and Crokerism caused most of those who
had accepted Mr.. Taggarts invitation to
suddenly discover that they had previous
enga gements which would make it impossi-
bic for them to indulge in the delight of
meeting Mr.. Croker When Mr.. Croker
came, however, the greeting of Mr.. Taggart
was cordial in the extreme, but the COM
pany to welcome the boss was so small that
it might have been called select
The Journal dares not vouch for the au-
thenticity of this interesting story, yet it
can indulge in the prediction that if Tam
many had not been beaten and the Sentinel
had not denounced Croker the morning
after his defeat a large and enthusiastic
assemblage of Democratic leaders would
have been present at the welcome at
French Lick and would have seen TO it that
their names were printed in the list of
those participating in the conference The
dethronement of Mr.. Croker and the prob
ability that he would have no influence
hereafter kept them away from the Tag
CART tavern as if it were a smallpox hospi-
tai, while Mr.. Croker, after the loud proc
lamation of his advent in Indiana, quietly
sought his home in New York. The ex-
mayor was the only loyal man, and he was
present as proprietor of the hotel.
