Governor Durbin made a tour of inspec-
ton of the entire camp yesterday morning,
attended battalion drills. guard mounts
and offlcers schools. At guard mounts the
Governor talked interestingly to the men
OF their duties as guards. and he empha-
sized the responsibility of their position,
telling them that they represent the Gov
ernor, the brigadier< general, the camp and
the State.
Last night Governor Durbin yielded to
the persuasion OF Major Tarlton, officer OF
the guard. and accompanied the major on
a round OF the entire guard lines of the

That city employees whose salaries are due
soon should be pail promptly is a matter
that admits of no argument: but it is not
fair to hold the Council responsible for any
failure in that direction. That temporary
loans have been necessary TO pay employees
is due mainly to Mayor Taggart. who in
sisted hat a 59-cent levy was sufficient to
meet the current expenses of the city in
August. 1899. He told his Council that the
amount was ample. and that subservient
body voted il. The Journal at the time
demonstrated that a 70-cent levy was neces-
if made upon the scale of the previous year
of the Taggart regime. But Mr.. Taggart
was fighting for a third election, and some
thing had to be done to cover up the
growth of the city's expenses. and an made
quate tax levy was hit upon as the device
that would deceive. Because of that device
the City Council has been making temper
airy loans from time to time. and must
make more of them to meet current eX-
penses. Mr.. Taggart believes in that sort
of city inanciering, and, perhaps. with his
old Council, mis- fears of a surplus had
good foundation; but a city should raise
enough money TO pay it's bills every year.
The 500, 900 or SD, 600 of temporary loans
an increase of the city's debt for current
expenses-a piece of bad policy for which
there can be no excuse.

Garrett p. Serviss, whose views relative
10 the cause of the extreme heat were
quoted in a dispatch yesterday, can
scarcely be said TO rank as a scientist.
though he is an interesting writer and
lecturer. He is the author of a semi
scientific work entitled, Astronomy with
an Opera Glass" and also of a semi
scientific novel entitled, "Edison's Con-
quest of Mars" but these works are not
regarded as contributions TO science. Mr..
Serviss's speculations regarding the effect
of the suns undulatory atmosphere and of
the so-called sun-spots upon terrestrial
heat are ingenious and plausible, but as
yet they lack a good deal of scientific
demonstration. His prediction that ''for
the next four years these giant outbursts
will increase in fury. and a corresponding
series of terrestrial seasons marked by
great excuses of temperature, sudden
contrasts and extraordinary cyclonic dis
turbance will follow savors too much of
the Hicks school OF prophecy to be en-
tirely trustworthy. Real scientists are not
so free with theoretical predictions.

The movement for the establishment Of
a new harbor and perhaps a new town in
northern Indiana on the southern shore of
Lake Michigan should not be construed as
an attempt to compete for the trade of
Chicago. 1t is rather an evidence that
the Of that city has outgrown
its present facilities and finds it necessary
TO seek new ones in a neighboring State.
The trade of a new harbor and town any
where within nifty miles of Chicago will
be as directly tributary TO that city as if
IL were in the city limits.

who employ labor in the South know that
the loss OF any considerable portion Of
that labor would be an unmixed calamity
to the Industrial interests of that section.
For many reasons other labor Will not go
to the South under present conditions, so
hat the loss OF any portion Of 1t would
be irreparable. At the same time. the
most heartless thing that agents repre-
senting Northern employers can do is TO
induce colored men to come North and be-
come the real victims Of strike

Three hundred Of the leading business
men and taxpayers in Fort Scott, Kan,
have signed a statement to the effect that
every effort TO enforce the prohibitory law
has failed. no matter how earnestly begun.
and they express the opinion that the only
effective way to control the liquor traf ic in
hat city is TO enforce the payment of a
stipulated sun from every dealer. The
same condition exists in other Kansas
cities. Wellington's Council made such a
bargain with saloonists and is using the
proceeds of the deal in the construction of
sidewalks.

adopted a plan Of sharing a portion OF the
profits among the employees. Under that
plan the twenty-fourth semi-annual divi-

during the six months. Few cotton mills

Special attention is called 10 Senator
Daniels proposition for the regulation. or.
more properly, the restriction OF suffrage

which practically denies that the right
to vote is an inherent one OF citizenship.
The prepayment of a poll tax of 50 is

nized good character" The ability to read
the Constitution. or expound II even If the
citizen cannot read, and the holding Of
$500 worth Of property by father or wife,
are propositions involving intelligence on
the part of the voter. while the holding OF
$500 worth of taxables involves a property
qualification. This, 1t is well to emphasize,
is the proposition OF a leading Southern
Democrat. The Democratic papers OF the
North will denounce the tax and property
qualifications, but if anything of the kind
were suggested for Indiana. what a howl
would go up from the Democratic press.
The Daniel proposition would disfranchise
a very large majority of the voters OF In
dianapolis. only o~ne-fourth of whom. at
the present time, according to the official
statement of the late City Controller John
son, pay any sort of tax. The most Of
these might be able to pay a poll tax. but
hundreds of them do not own property to
the value of $500. Many Democrats in the
North undoubtedly approve the proposition
OF Senator Daniel for Virginia; if it is
wise and just TO impose a property quail
fcation and a 81 poll tax in Virginia, why
would it be unwise and unjust in Indiana?
