ISSUE

The desperate effort Of the Democrats
In Congress to find an issue which will
cause the country to forget the blunders
of the party leaders since they forsook the
doctrines of the Cleveland platform Of 1892
cannot but attract attention. They are
trying to find something in the Philippine
policy of the administration, but thus far
they have not had the sagacity to hit
upon ~ positive plan to offer as a sub
stitute for the policy of the Republicans.
They have, however, discovered that the
proposition to abandon the islands is not
practicable.
They are beginning to raise a cry against
the present protective tariff, but they have
not set up a policy Of their own. They do
not even object to a protective tariff; it is
a high protective tariff to which they OBJ
ject. These leaders seem TO fear to go back
to the Democratic doctrine Of a tariff for
revenue only. They are simply against the
thing that is, without presenting something
they claim to be better. Mr.. Robinson, of
this State. feels that he has found an issue
in the failure of Governors Mount and Dur
bAA ~ Il NIC
to deliver TO the Governors OF other States
alleged fugitives from justice. All the pre-
cedents showing tina Governors have for
years exercised their judgment as TO
whether acquisitions should or should not
be honored count for nothing. do not avail
with Mr.. Robinson. He is so satisfied that
there is an issue in the matter for his party
that he imagines the people of States will
approve his proposition to have United
States marshals serve writs on alleged fu-
gitives from justice in utter disregard Of
the rights of States.
And now comes the Schley affair. There
is no politics in it. 1t is impossible to in
ject politics into 1t. Senator Jones, of Ar
kansas, rushes a vote of thanks into the
Senate to Admiral Schley, which is doubt
less regarded as good politics" Mr.. Grit
fifth, of this State, and other Democrats,
have resolutions demanding an investiga-
ton by the House, simply because they
hope there may be something in such
moves to help TO make an issue, or at least
do something to divert public attention
from their plumbers during the past six
years. They would have NE country forget
that six years ago each of them strove TO
get a 16-to-1 speech into the Congressional
Record.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1901-12-17

The meeting in New York Of leading rep
resentatives Of labor and capital to dis
cuss plans by which wage and industrial
disputes may be minimized is one Of the
most significant and hopeful indications of
the season. Nothing but good can come
from ar exchange of opinions by President
Gompers. President John Mitchell, Mr..
Schwab, Senator Hanna, Archbishop Ire
land and other men of national reputation
who are interested in the solution of the
industrial problem. Even if no plan can
be agreed upon for the settlement of dis
putes between capital and labor, a confer
ence which will bring the representatives
Of both wings of the army of production
together so that they will know each other
better will have a s~alutary influence. If
the North and the South had known Zach
other in 1861 as they now do there would
have been no war. When the men who en-
ploy and the men who are employed know
each other better, the chances Of disagree
ments ending in strikes will be reduced 70
a factor that can be of little account. In
the conference Senator Hanna appeared
yCSbClddy. IL has DtCH a a sc CnpAOyCA
of labor all his life. AS a practical man he
understands the subject probably as well
as any man in this country. His experience
has given him absolute faith in the feast
bility of efforts TO bring labor and capital
together. In October. 1900. when the an
thracite coal strike was pending Senator
Hanna's influence was potent in bringing
it to an end. He was accused Of inter-
fering to save his party in the campaign,
then near it's close. Those who know him
at home know that he believes that the
employer and the employe can live to-
gether on terms of peace based upon mu-
tual confidence. His experience has given
him faith in the movement, and his desire
to see it accomplished and his confidence
in the benefits which will come to the
country by a policy of Cancellation, lead
him to pledge his best efforts while life
lasts to bring labor and capital together"
Can any intelligent person who has consid-
cred the evils growing out of conflicts be-
tween labor and capital say that senator
Hanna is not right when he says that the
settlement of the question between labor
and capital will do more for good govern
ment, good morals and good social rela-
tions than anything else that we can ac-
complish?'
This conference is the first Of the kind
that has been held in the world. 1t, there
fore, marks the beginning of a new era in
the relations between labor and capital-an
era which has already been preceded by
better relations on both sides.

In THE True Thomas Jefferson" by
William f. Curtis, published by ]. b. Lip

University of Virginia, Jefferson's great

for the generosity of Northern people. The
author shows by figures that the endow-
mentS and contributions to its support re-
ceived from the State Of Virginia and from
people in the South, and from it's alumni
generally have been trifing, while the in
stitution has been actually sustained by
Northern men who are not graduates.
This remarkable assertion is likely To at
tract some attention, because more prom
inent men in the South have been edu-
Gated there than at any other institution,
and it seems extraordinary that they have
done nothing for its support. There are
many rich men in the Southern States;
there are many rich men Of Southern birth

North, and it seems incredible that they
should have done nothing TO preserve a
great institution like the University of Vir-

TO FIGHT WHISKY TRUST.
Independent DistiIIers Planning n
Vigorous

PEORIA, Ill, Dec. lot has just been
learned that nineteen independent distil-
leries are planning for a campaign against
the Distilling Company of America, other
wise known as the whisky trust. Eighteen
of these distilleries are already in opera
ton and the nineteenth, a mammoth con-
Germ with a daily capacity Of 10000 gallons
of high wines, will be started on Jan.
1 by Corning & Co, in this city. Six
months ago the trust was manufacturing
practically all the spirits Of this country
and had a virtual monopoly Of the trade,
disposing of about 25O. 600 gallons a day.
Since then the demand has increased so
that 1000 bushels of grain are now Delng
mashed daily, the yield being 10000 gal
Ions Of spirits.
One of the peculiar conditions Of the new
situation is that it may lead to the reopen
ing of the old Shufeldt distillery at chi
cago. A call has been issued by the Bhis-
ky trust for a special meeting TO be held
at Jersey City next Friday, when the cues
ton of reducing the capital stock Will De
considered. The trust stock now amounts
TO SIPS, 600, 900, consisting of $55,OU,VU pre-
ferred and $70,000,0 900 common. OF these

1t is not the purpose of the Journal to
take part in the controversy which has
sprung up over the majority and minority
opinions OF the Schley Court of Inquiry,
but. rather. 10 show that the points of diff
ference between Admiral Dewey and Rear
Admirals Ramsay and Benham are not
so radical as most people have been led
to assume from the reports and opinions
OF newspapers which have become parti-
ans in this matter. The majority OF the
court found that Admiral Schley did not
proceed to CienfuegOs with all Dispatch"
Admiral Dewey finds that he did, having
in view the Importance of arriving there
with as much coal as possible. As 10 the
blockade OF C~ienfuegos, the majority say
that IL was not effective. While Admiral
Dewey says IL was. The majority OF the
court finds that Admiral Schley did not
use all possible means TO ascertain IL the
Spanish fleet was in Cienfuegos, but Ad-
miral Dewey finds that Admiral SchIey ex-
pected TO ascertain by the Adula. The
majority Of the court finds that Admiral

''The First Men in the Moon.v

w. L. Alden'S London Letter.
Mr.. Wells's new romance is entitled 1.-THE
First Men in the Moon" and was, as every
one knows, published as a serial last year.
Like all Of Mr.. Wells's impossible stories, ii
is convincing. Nothing could have been
more impossible than his War Of the
Worlds" but did we not all read it with
out being assailed by the slightest doubts
Of its truth, so long as we kept the book
open before US? If we grant Mr.. Wells's
premise that a means of neutralizing the
attraction Of gravity can be discovered,
there Is no further improbability in his
story, and that Ii is an extremely interest
ing one every reader viii admit. The pic
ture that Mr.. Wells presents of the inhab-
itantS of the moon is not an attractive one.
Like his MartianS, they have apparently
gone, not to seed but to brain. The Mar
tianS were merely brain enYeloped in a sort
of ~gelatinous tissue, and the Lunarians
are-at least the most intelligent of them
pure brain, and nothing else. 1 should
prefer TO have a decent percentage of body
in any inhabitants Of other spheres that
/ may hereafter meet. Fancy marrying
a pure brain! 1t would perhaps prove
economical in point of clothing expenses,
but would not one occasionally sigh for
the touch Of a non-existent hand, and the
sound of a voice that could never be
heard, for the sufficient reason that brain
and vocal organs are two distinct things?
However, the precise nature of Lunarian
anatomy has nothing to do with the in
terest Of Mr.. Wells's story, and L do not
envy the man who fails TO read ii. He
will have lost an opportunity which no one
should miss.

More Fables by AIDE.

Forty Modern Fables" is the title of a
new collection of George AIDES fables in
slang, with which the Journals readers
have become familiar. That Mr.. AIDE has
a sense Of humor, is keenly observant and
is a master of the vocabulary of the street
was long since proved. How he manages
to acquire such a command of the in
elegant but most expressive language that
he uses with such telling effect is a mys-
terry. That he somehow does so and
combines with this mastery an insight into
the foibles and characteristics of the peo-
pie around him is a source of joy to a host
of readers. Even though they may have
read many of these forty fables as they
appeared in the newspapers they will en-
joy hardly less a second reading. For the
people he depicts are so real, their weak
nesses and vanities and habits so common
to the race that they belong to the litera-
ture which has a lasting quality. 1t is a
book in which there is many a laugh. r.
