There will be no more important meeting
i'm this city this year than that of the town
ship trustees. 1t is cause for genuine con-
graduation that nearly seven hundred of
the one thousand trustees in the State are
attending the meeting. There are 20 more
important officers in Indiana than the men
who have charge of the financial affairs of
a township. The trustee should be a
of practical business capacity and force of
his party and yet lack the special qualifica-
tiOns which will make him an efficient
township trustee. Indeed. it may be said
that there is no position in which there is
greater need for aIl-arOund efficient men
than the township trusteeship. There is
reason to believe that the taxpayers them
selves are slowly coming to the conclusion
that the best men among them needed
for that Office. Ii can be added that during
the past ten years there is good reason TO
believe that a better class of men have
been elected trustees than before that time
While many excellent trustees were OPP
posed to the township reform bill while it
was pending, most OF tnem must now see
that the law has proved salutary. Ii is due
to the great body of township trustees to
say that during the past four years they
have rendered most efficient service in re-
ducing that most pernicious pauperism
known as the outdoor poor because they
are not kept in the county poorhouse.
The address of Governor Durbin to the
trustees is that of a man who believes that
there is no place where there is a better
field for the application OF strict business
principles than in the affairs of township
city. county and State. One of the points
which Governor Durbin emphasized is that
the volume of local taxation for township
municipal and county affairs constitutes
the bulk of taxation and that economical
and efficient government depends largely
upon the township trustee and other local
officers His experience with the business

ITS POLITICAL ASPECT.
Prince Henry's Visit Of Great Impor-
lance i'm World Comfy.

Springfield Republican.
The Vienna newspaper that says the COM
ing visit Of Prince Henry of Prussia to this
country has a political object is correct
There need be no misrepresentation on that
point And simply because the visit has a
political object, it merits more attention
from Americans than could be paid TO the
ordinary tourist of a European royal fami-
ly. The object of the princes coming to
America is to bring the United States and
Germany into more harmonious interna-
tional relations and TO make their respect
i've peoples more cordial in their feelings
toward each other. To effect or to further
such an object is politics in the very high
est sense; and. inasmuch effort along
this line, however undertaken, must help
to sustain the peace Of the world, by soft
ening international asperities, it deserves to
be regarded with the utmost approval by
the people of America.
This country is highly fortunate in hav-
ing so large a number of citizens OF Ger
man extraction scattered over it's vast ter
ritory, since by their solid worth the char
acter of the German nation may be made
known Although Germany is ruled under
a system which does not excite an Amer
leans admiration, il is a familiar fact in
every American town that no European
coming to the United States takes moro
readily TO republican institutions than "A
German. The large German element in our
population is really safeguard Of the Re
public But, internationally considered. 1t
is also a valuable asset in that il brings the
two nations into closer popular touch and
sympathy with each other. Just as there
may be buffer states between great en-
pires, so our population of German ante
Cedents may be said TO act the part OF a
buffer between the United States and
Germany in any period Of international ir-
ritation.
Americans have a great advantage over
the British in this respect. During our
late war with Spain. when friction between
Dewey and the German admiral was re-
ported in Manila bay, the situation was
tempered TO an important degree by the
mere fact OF our large German population
and our widely circulated German press OF
New York, ST Louis and Chicago. Their
whole influence was Inevitably conservative
in such a crisis. And So too, In Germany
the motives Of the people OF this country
in going 10 war with Spain were better I'M
derstood because Of the statements made
directly TO the German people by such men
as Carl Schurz. But there Is no Influential
German element in Great Britain. and the
result is that the peoples of those coun-
tries arc less able TO understand each 9TH

Pearson's Break.

Roswell Field, in Chicago Post
Greatly admire Professor Pearson
for his scholarly attainment and his moral
worth it pains us TO see him speaking al
most disrespectfully Of our old friends Eli
jah and Elisha, to say nothing OF the three
human salamanders, Shadrach, Meshac
and Abednego. We could not have been
more grieved and shocked had he talked
lightly of Daniel or flippantly of Jonah.
Northwestern University has been distin-
guished for its answering allegiance TO the
absolute verify Of the scriptures, and We
firmly believe that DR.. Holhster would not
permit any young gentleman to play a
university team who for one moment
doubted the athletic supremacy Of Daniel
or Shadrach In any Sportsmanlike contest.

citizens of Evanston 10 labor and pray with
him, and that without ceasing.

unanimously last night against an appro-
priation for construction of a house of de-
tentiOn for smallpox patients. The building
used for this purpose already con-
tains double the number of patients that
can be comfortably accommodated, and the
outlook for a speedy spread of the malady
is more alarming than at any time for sew

Democrats of the City Council vote unani-

the city from what may prove an cpl

they can give satisfactory reasons for their
action but people not members of the
