THE METHODIST HOSPITAL.

Tomorrow will be observed by all the
Methodist Episcopal churches in this city
as Hospital day" A strenuous effort will
be made to add to the donations already
made a sum sufficient to insure the early
completion of a hospital with a deaconess'
home in this city, to be under the manage
ment OF and supported by the church. So
thorough are the arrangements made by
each church in the city that those in charge
are confident of success. Eminent men in
the church from abroad will be present to
take part in to-morrow's services. This
benevolent enterprise should commend it
self to all intelligent people. A city can
not have too many hospitals; consequently
this effort of the great Methodist Church
to plant a hospital here which shall be in
its completeness second to none elsewhere
should receive the aid of those who do not
belong to that denomination. For years
the Methodist Church in eastern Indiana
has contributed 10 the support of Christ
Hospital in Cincinnati. and the denomi-
nation in other parts of the State assisted
the UNCONVENTIONAL hospitals in South Bend
and Chicago. The building of a large hos
pital in Indianapolis not only appeals to
the State pride of Methodists. but upon the
liberality of the local donations depends
the aggregate of the contributions from
abroad, as benevolent people elsewhere will
not be disposed TO assist in local charity
to which those in the vicinity do not make
some sacrifice TO help along
The energy with which leading Meth
odists in the State have pushed this noble
conception of a hospital proves that the
spirit OF Wesley is alive to-day and finds
its mission in the amelioration Of human
sufferings. Such a Christian charity should
appeal to the liberality OF citizens who are
not MethOdsts since the success OF the
movement will bring TO the city another
asylum for suffering humanity. 1t can be
added that the hospital facilities of In
dianapolis are inadequate. Those who feel
disposed 10 assist in this line OF Christian
charity can obtain information of Mr.. w
r. Halstead. secretary of the organization.

army as soon as peace was restored" That
pledge about withdrawing our army. The
United States has always construed the
word "pacihcation' in the pledge as mean
ing the establishment of stable govern
ment. and the pledge to leave the gov
eminent and control of the island to its
own people" does not become operative I'M
til then. The sovereignty which the United
States has exercised has been temporary
and for specific purpose, and is in strict
harmony with its pledge fairly construed.
Although General Wilson'S premises were
wrong and his criticism of the American
policy in Cuba during the last two years
undeserved, he reached a right conclusion
when he said we are in honor bound to
grant a liberal degree of reciprocity TO
Cuba. Thus far Cuba has reaped nothing
but benefits and blessings from American
Intervention and occupation of the island,
but all that has been done will have little
effect in assuring the prosperity of the
United States. On this point there is alb
solutely no difference Of opinion among
those who believe, as President Roosevelt
said in his annual message, that there are
weighty reasons of morality and national
interest why we should grant "a substan-
tial reduction In the tariff duties on Cuban
imports to the United States

PANAMA IS BEST.
Choice of that Route Brings Probable
Result i'm Sight.
Chicago Journal.

Chicago Journal.
The report of the Isthmian Commission
recommending the acceptance of the Pan
anna offer brings us nearer TO an isthmian
canal as a reality than we have ever been.
and makes IL loom up as a possibility. Here
tofore il has been merely a probability. 1t
now takes form and being, the plans are
made the engineering difficulties known.
the ground is broken and great progress
has been made. Henceforth il is only a
question Of money. and that is no question
at all with the United States. The Panama
canal would have been completed long ago
if the company had possessed the necessary
financial resources.
So far as conveying the title is concerned
the commission has examined the subject
and has no doubt that the Panama COM
pany can make an effective sale. The CO.
lombian government Will only be too glad
to confirm to the United States whatever
rights the canal company conveys, and this
government, once in possession Of the prop
erty, will hardly have its title called in
question by anyone.
There are. therefore. no difficulties of
great ma gnitude I'm that direction.
AS the commission, after several years
of personal and scientific investigation,
unanimously approves of the Panama route
superior in every respect TO all others,
there ought not to be much hesitation in
Congress in acting upon the report. Most
assuredly members OF Congress, in House
or Senate, can have no better knowledge
the merits of the various routes. They are
not engineers or experts in any sense, and
in order TO form an opinion must obtain
their knowledge from some person per-
sons who may claim to have made the
necessary Investigations.
But what would be more unreasonable
than TO ignore the unanimous opinion Of
the government commission appointed spe-
cially to make this investigation and ac-
cept the opinion OF outsiders, If there is
such. that has no official sanction?
Besides. IL must be remembered that
before the French company began its
operations at Panama IL had particularly
explored and considered the various routes
across the isthmus. So that we have not
only our own government commission TO
choose the Panama line as the best and
most promising, but have the recon-
mendation Of the French engineers and ex-
perts behind that
Whatever delays and hindrances are now
raised to the progress of this enterprise,
they will come from the advocates OF the
Nicaragua or other routes.

REPUBLICAN STRENGTH IN INDIANA.

At a meeting of the Democrats in this
city not long since one Of them said that
his party would probably make the next
campaign upon state issues. The wiser
Democrats who keep in touch with affairs
have no such desire. Those Democrats who
have read the address of State Auditor
Hart at the Lincoln banquet in Terre Haute
will have no stomach for a campaign OH
state issues. A fair knowledge of the
achievements Of the Republican party since
it came into legislative control in 1895 war
rants the Journal in declaring that party
has never in so short a time established
many and so positive reforms in a State.
When it came into power every state office
that could had fees provided for it. The
Republican Legislature OF 1895 struck out
the fee system in state and county. 1t was
a hard fight, but by courage and perse-
verance it was done. Nobody viii ever
know how many tens Of thousands Of dol
lars in fees the last Democratic attorney
general pocketed unless he shall make a
deathbed confession. 1t is not known how
many thousands of dollars went TO other
if the change had not been made state
auditors since 1895 would have received
from collections from insurance COM
panies $133.6S2. and that secretaries OF
state would have been tens of thou
sands of dollars better off if the Demo-
cratic fee system had continued. All OF
the public institutions have been put upon
counting in all the institutions has been so
systematized that fraud of any kind is
practically impossible The policy of pub
licity has had its good effect. and because
OF ii the charges for outdoor poor have
been reduced nearly 80 per cent. i'm six
years. The creation of county and town
ship advisory boards made those important
features i'm our system of government con-
form with the government of state and city
by creating a legislative branch and enforc-
ing publicity. The state debt was burden
in 1895; all OF it which can be reached will
be paid before Governor Durbin's term
shall expire. The last 100000 received of
the federal government for war claims un-
der Democratic administration went into
the general fund TO pay current expenses.
thus preventing an increase of the state
debt TO that amount. The 100000 about to
be received will go to reduce the public
debt
These are but a few of the facts to be
found in the address of State Auditor Hart.
and even he has not told the whole story
of Republican achievement in the past
seven years. The wonder is that more Re
publican speakers do not acquaint them
selves with the details of these magnif-
! cent achievements. True, such facts do
not afford an opportunity for glowing
words and rounded periods, and there is
not much ''hOopla" in figures, but in
telligent and progressive people are much
/ interested in such plain facts.

ALL ARE AMERICANS.
Should BE No Recognition Of German
Americans as Such.
PHILADELPHIA Times.

Philadelphia Times.
In the arrangements for the entertain
ment of the German prince there are con-
slant mentions of German-American So
cieties, German-American functions, Ger
man-American this and that, until one
wonders what has become of the plain
American. Perhaps we shall hear of the
Yankee-American, Mayor Low, and the
Dutch-American, President Roosevelt, and
French-Americans, Irish-Americans, Italio-
Americanos, and so on, as members OF
committees. until every race has had it's
hyphenation.
All this is deeply wrong. 1t may seem
trivial now but when campaigns come
we hear questions as to what the German
Americans will do, what the Irish-Amer-
leans Will do, what the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
will do, unless arguments and policies are
shifted in their special directiOns-a proof
of the malign influence of an evil which has
grown because it has been unrebuked. So
let us be honest about the matter When
a man becomes naturalized he is an Amer
lean and nothing else until he forswears
his allegiance. He may be proud of his ma
tive land: he may cherish his memories OF
its life and traditions, and We honor him
for it, but when he insists upon a term
that looks like a partition of loyalty he
wrongs his country and himself.
American citizenship has no qualifying
adjectives, no divided honors. no append
ages, no eNcreScenCeSt no partnerships Inn
tied unlimited. no crutches and no coad-
tutors 1t stands on its own bottom, has
its own name and holds its own place. The
word American cannot be increased or
diminished; il cannot be separated il can
not be divided; it cannot be used by this
race or that race for special ends. II is for
all and il means all, and il is not for any
single faction. fraction, race or sect. Sup
pose the "German-American" a visit TO
his native land should get into trouble. He
would drop the German" and the hyphen
like hot bricks. Il am an American would"
be his claim and his boast. What is good
enough for him then should be good enough
for him when he gets back TO the United
States.
1t is false and vicious. There Is no such
thing as a German-American or a French
American or English-American. But
the use Of these designations goes on and
the strong men refuse 10 speak out because
they may hurt few narrow prejudices II
is high time that the truth be insisted upon
and when the government receives a ma
tional guest il should not compromise its
dignity bV allowing uDOn the programme
any of this split Americanism. II we are
Americans we are Americans alone and not
Americans with tags. In the welcome to
Prince Henry the governments part should
be purely American and not American with
any kind of hyphen. The greeting should
be in the name OF the whole people and he
will thus be the guest OF Americans in the
real and broad sense Of the word.

Pursuant to the programme of the Sen
ate steering committee the bill to create
a permanent Census Bureau was taken up
yesterday and may be passed to-day. The
proposition is to make the Census Bureau
a permanent office instead of passing d
special census bill every tenth year. 1t
is claimed that the change will result in
much better service in that when a new
census is to be taken the government will
have trained body of statisticians on
hand who, instead of having to learn their
work from the beginning, as has been the
case heretofore when a new force was APP
pointed, will know just how to handle it.
Enumerators or those who do the field
work. viii not be retained, but only those
in the bureau at Washington. 1t is ex-
pected this will enable the bureau TO bring
out the results Of the census in much less
time than is now the case. Formerly it
required seven or eight years to tabulate
and publish all the results of a census. thus
making the statistics almost worthless be-
fore they were published. The population
returns of the twelfth census, taken in 1900,
were published more promptly than ever
before, but some of the important statis-
ties of that census are still untabulated.
The subject is of more Importance than
most persons suppose. and the exchange
of census returns and social statistics
based thereon has become an established
practice among civilized governments In
1897, at the meeting of the International
Statistical Institute in st. Petersburg, the
proposition was discussed of taking a
simultaneous census in 1900 throughout the
world. The idea had to be dropped on ac-
count of the impossibility of changing the
dates of census taking i'm some of the coun-
tries. Nearly all civilized countries, how
ever, took their censuses in 1900 or 1901.
Most countries, including the United States,
take their census every ten years, but Ger
many takes hers every five years. Her
last one, taken on Dec /, 1900 has been
partially published, but will not be COM
plete before next summer. The only one
of the States that has established a per-
manent census bureau is Massachusetts,,
and the results there are so satisfactory
as to furnish an argument for permanent
national bureau. After the bureau is es-
tablished it should be brought under the
civil-service law as far as the Washington
employees are concerned, though in the
nature OF things that cannot be applied
to the enumerators, who appointed for
a special duty and whose term of employ
ment is very short. President Roosevelt
recommended a permanent census office in
his first annual message. For the sake
he said. "Of good administration, sound
economy and the advancement of science
the Census Office as now constituted should
be made a permanent government bureau.
This would insure better, cheaper and more
satisfactory work in the interest not only
of our business, but of statistic. economic
and social science" There is little doubt
but the bill will become a law.

SONS. recalling the circumstances of their
first meeting, Miss Rose Jeanne Regens-
burg and Kano Oshima a Japanese, were
made husband and wife last Wednesday
evening. He a Buddhist, the bride am
atheist, the ceremony was a civil one, and
Judge Giegerich. of the Supreme Court,
who officiated changed the ritual to meet
the views of the young woman. Twenty
four years old, a pretty brunette, the bride
is the daughter of Mrs. Rose Marie Regens-
burg-ResSer, and il was in the parlor of
her home, at No. 202 West Eightieth street,
that the wedding party saw the unique
ceremony.
Judge Giegerich did not utter the word
obey in the ceremony. The young wom-
an had objected TO it, saying should she
swear to obey her husband she would place
herself at once on an inferior plane to him.
She suggested the substitution of the word
yield, because this would show her posi-
ton was of her own voition. To this the
bridegroom had assented readily for ne
had forfeited a fortune of $500 900 that he
might have her as wife, and trivialities
would have weight with him.
OF family as old as any In Japan, with
a handsome estate at Gumaken near
Toxic, Oshima has been in this country for
a decade. His grandfather was the owner
OF copper mine at Mount AshiO. famous
for the quality of its product. Kano was
his faVorite, and 10 him he arranged TO
leave the bulk of his estate after his death
For thirteen years, since he attained his
ma jOrlty, kanO enjoyed the income from
this estate. Highly educated. he Travelled
over the world. and after seven years in
San Francisco he came 20 New York and
began business in Fifth avenue as a dealer
in Oriental wares OF the costlest variety.
His manager lived in TarrytOwn. and one
day Oshima heard him speak of the cherry
blossoms. II reminded him of his home,
and he expressed a desire 10 see the blooms.
He accepted an invitation 10 visit his man
ager, and they left the country house to-
gether on their way TO the orchard. As
they reached a spot where the gorgeous
blossoms were thickest they saw a young
woman standing beneath them. admiring
their beauty. She was Miss Regensburg, a
friend of the manager. and when Oshma
was introduced To her he knew his visit
