A communication from the president
and trustees Of the village of St. Vincent,
Mimi, was read.
The communication stated that a new
ferry boat, cable and small boat were
needed, and proposed that this city and
the village Of St. Vincent build new
boat, each paying one-half the cost and
each to own an undivided half of the
same.
On discussion, the City Council with
out direct vote, seemed to be of the opin-
ion that the present state of the city fin
ances would not warrant any action for
so large an expenditure at the present
time.

MuNCIE,s GosD EXAMPLE.

The jubilation of the Muncie Commercial
Club Wednesday night was a significant
occurrence. 1t was, in the first place, an
impromptu affair. The session of the club
had been held and the outlook of the city
as presented was so satisfactory that the
members adjourned to hold a jollifcation
meeting. To the business men Of Muncie
outlook is such as TO inspire ~joyfulness. 1t
is significant because it has been feared
that with the falling off in the volume of
gas the cities which sprang into promi-
nerce with it's discovery would suffer a re-
action. There is no indication Of such harm
full reaction in the leading cities of the gas
belt. One industry may come and another
may go. but the volume of employment
which makes business has increased. The
gas belt also has the advantage of cheap
coal and excellent location.
The glorifcation of the Muncie business
men in d broader manner emphasizes the
general and unparalleled prosperity of the
country. In some way or another the
American people are prosperous to a great
er degree than any people have been in
recent years. Furthermore, there is no in
dication that a change is near at hand.
People generally are confident rather than
hopeful. The confident tone appears in
market reports and in all commercial re-
views, and the Muncie jubilation is but a
note in the general acclaim. In fact, the
belief in prosperous times is so general that
grumblers no longer speak of these hard
times" or refer TO 1.-The good old times
which they always see in imagination.
Muncie is no exception to the general pros
perity, but Muncie appreciates and is joy
full rather than critical.
The better conditions came with the cleo
ton of President Mckinley and Republican
lieve that a change of policy would re-
verse the conditions. The fact that a
reversal of the protective policy brought
industrial revulsion should deter the coun-
try from considering such a policy. Never
theless, there is a disposition on the part
of a class of politicians and alleged re-
formers to assail and overthrow the legis-
lation which has brought TO the country
the conditions essential for the present
prosperity. The editor and orator who told
of the baron robbers" meaning the manu-
facturers, a few years ago have assumed
an unfriendly attitude. They would thrust
into the next campaign issues which, if sue
c~essful. would be followed by a change
of policy regardless of consequences. Will
it not be better for all who desire the era
of prosperity to continue to follow the ex-
ample of the Muncie Commercial Club and
rejoice in what we enjoy?

JUSTICE.

The conviction of the American postal en-
points of difference between Spanish and
American law. but it does not follow that
these furnish just ground for the criticisms
made b. some or the expressions of SYM
pathy by others. There is a radical diff
ference between the laws. legal methods
and court proceedings of this country and
Of Cuba, but both are the evolution of
many centuries Of experience, and both aim
in different ways at justice. We have the
common law, or Anglo-Saxon system, while
Cuba has the Roman law, or Latin system.
The latter is sometimes called civil law.
1t had its origin in Rome, but il had enough
vitality and merit to outlive Roman dom
ination and TO become the accepted system
OF nations that had never been ruled by
Rome. 1t has exerted a lasting influence
over all European legislation, and still pre-
walls 10 a greater or less extent in most
European countries. 1t was introduced in
Louisiana under Spanish and French rule,
and it still prevails in the local courts of
that State. The code Of Louisiana is based
upon the Spanish law, which prevailed
when the Territory was coded to the United
States. and upOn the Code Napoleon. Both
the civil and the crimina codes in Louis
lana differ radically from those in any other
State. If these men had been tried in
France the methods of procedure would
have been substantially the same as they
were in Cuba, and probably the result
would not have been materially different.
In no other country in the world do the
laws and the manner of administering them
offer as many chances of escape to Grim
inals as in the United States, and nowhere
else does the judicial custom of showing
leniency to persons convicted of crime or
the popular custom of showing sympathy
for them prevail TO the extent that it does
In this country. This does not argue a
high sense of justice or a rigid standard
of enforcing laws. 1t is probably fortunate
for our national reputation that the trial
of these men did not take place in the
United States, where the administration of
criminal law is lax to a degree that some
times causes scandal, and where justice is
often defeated in the house Of it's friends.
The talk about their not having had a fair
trial, about their conviction being a fore
gone conclusion, about political persecution,
etc, is all nonsense and calculated TO mis-
lead popular judgment as to the merits of
the case. III they had wished to be tried in
the United States. where the chances of
escape are greater. the penalty for public
embezzlement less severe, and where bail is
admitted in all criminal cases. they could
have secured these privileges by violating
the laws OF this country, but, having vio-
lated those of Cuba, under circumstance of
peculiar aggravation, they must take the
consequences.

A STRIKE

The National Civic Federation has not
had to wait long for an opportunity to
justify its existence. Readers of the Jour
nal will remember that this organization is
the outcome of a voluntary movement on
the part of a number of representative men
from various walks of life who met in New
York few months ago to discuss the rela-
tions of labor and capital, and if possible
to devise some means of settling labor dis
putes and preventing strikes. The charac-
ter of the gentlemen who attended the
conference was a guaranty of their disin-
terestedness and sincerity. The result was
the organization of the Civic Federation
and the appointment of a Cancellation COM
mittee with instructions to tender its serY-
ices for Cancellation or arbitration between
the parties TO all labor disputes of suf-
fcient magnitude TO justify the offer. Mr..
Ralph NJ. Easley, secretary of the fedora
ton, assisted in bringing about a settle
ment of the recent strike of freight hand
lers in Boston. but the threatened strike
Of the anthracite coal miners was the first
instance in which the Cancellation commit
tee has been called TO act. Senator Mark
Hanna is chairman of this committee, and
it includes such men as Bishop Potter,
Franklin MacVeagh, Hon. Oscar S. Straus
and others of equal prominence. AS a re-
suit of their meeting and of a conference
with the officers of the mine workers or
CARNATIONS and with j. Pierpont Morgan
it is announced there will be no strike in
the anthracite coal district at present. with
a strong probability that all differences will
be peaceably adjusted. In other words. a
serious labor dispute has been settled and a
strike that seemed TO be imminent and that
certainly would have been disastrous has
been averted. The result is a victory for con-
c~iliatory methods and should encourage the
Civic Federation to further efforts in the
same direction. 1t goes to show tina the
best time to settle labor disputes is in
their incipiency, before they nave hardened
into rreconcilable controversies, and that
the best way to settle them is by concilia-
ton through the mediation of disinterested
parties. The present result is a triumph
for the Civic Federation.

the minister. This is the salary Of the
minister to Argentine Republic. Chile, Costa

$500 a year more than is paid to our min

In connection with the statement that
England is losing its shipping trade the
proposition TO permit the employment of
Chinese sailors on American ships in the
foreign trade. which has beer inserted in
the Chinese exclusion bill. is interesting.
The ocean is an area of free trade. The
nation which can sail its ships the cheapest
has the advantage. England pays higher
wages to sailors than does any other Eu-
ropean country. Consequently the cost of
sailing English vessels must be higher than
that OF other nations. The United States
stands little chance in the free-trade ocean
with its higher wages incident TO all en-
Payments in this country. To compete
with other nations in the Pacific trade
American shipowners must be permitted to
employ Chinese sailors If others do.
Strange 10 say. there are many men in
Congress who cannot see tina the employer
who pays double wages cannot compete
with the one who pays single wages, all
other things being equal.

Merger Mensure Vetoed.

DES MONIES, Ia, March Ex-Governor
Cummins to-day announced his veto of the
Molesberry bill, better known as the ''merg-
er measure" The bill removes the limit of
indebtedness per mile that may be con-
tracted by railways running through Iowa.
1t has been persistently claimed by those
opposing the bill that il was introduced
and pushed through by the Burlington
Railways lobbyists for the purpose of en-
aiding that corporation 10 take over the
Northern Securities COmpany's stock in
case the latter loses its case in the federal
courts.
Governor Cummins bases his veto wholly
on the unconstitutionality of the measure
in that it discriminate in favor of railway
corporations as against other corporations
and also grants a privilege to lines operat-
ing partly outside the State that is denied
those wholly within the State. He says the
measure is plainly intended 10 benefit the
Burlington system.

death OF Cecil Rhodes is that he could not
have lived TO see the realization of his
dream of a unified empire of federated
British colonies in South Africa. His the
cry was right accidentally, politically and
every other way. but his misfortune was in
dying before it caught up with him. He
saw long before other British statesmen
did that the so-called Boer republic. a hy-
brid survival of middle-age despotism,
stood in the way of the establishment of
constitutional liberty and that it should
give way to civilization. That is what will
soon happen. and it is a pity Rhodes could
not have lived TO see IL.
