INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Jan. 6--When

the matter, but that if the opposition
came from that source the public

A STURDY AMERICAN.

There seems to be pretty general
desire that President Roosevelt should
appoint former President Cleveland
Special Ambassador of this country
on the occasion of the coronation of
Edward VII There is no assurance
that Mr.. Cleveland would accept such
doubt of the propriety of appoin ng
him.
1t might have a wholesome influence
on the Britishers to give them a close
range look at a real american. The
English have become SO accustomed
to American toadIes and lick-spittles
that it would probably 40 them good
to get a look at the man who sent the
message to Congress commanding
John Bull to submit the Venezuelan
boundary dispute to arbitration. The
English do not like Cleveland a little
bit. but they cannot help respecting
him. and there Is no danger that any
of them will ever entertain contempt
for him.
There was time when the appoint
ment would not have been altogether
acceptable to many countrymen of Mr..
Cleveland's. That period. however,
has happily passed. Hostility toward
Mr.. Cleveland awakened by political
contention, has practically ceased to
exist
Time. the wisest of all historians,
has dealt kindly with the only living
ex- President of the United States. The
American people admire men of cou-
rage and independence. of ability and
integrity. They respect and honor Mr..
Cleveland for the reason that they re-
cognize that his sense of jusuce is
keen, his sense of right is clear and
his sense Of public duty is high. They
realize that in his life and in his char
acter is illustrated the natural Ameri-
can spirit which enables citizens to
view difficult situations steadily and
to view them whole. to reach conclu-
sions surely and to enunciate decisions

AMERICAN HEALTH HABITS.

The American health officers are fight

their efforts are being rewarded.
At intervals before the American oc-
cupation of the Philippines the
bubonic plague invaded Manila and
carried off hundreds of natives and
Chinese. The authorities are doing
everything possible to prevent the dis
ease, enforcing better sanitation, ex-
terminating the rats. which are its
greatest purveyors, and up to this time
have succeeded in preventing any

Washington Society
Complains Of Grievance.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. g.
Washington society women are pro-
testing against fad which has be-
come POI ular with many members os
the smart set. Nowadays when the
wife OF a Senator, a Justice or a Re-
preventative goes calling she leaves a
card bearing only her surname with
out initials, address or any indica-
tion OF the State from which the
granae dame comes.
This has caused many ladies' ex-
treme annoyance. Those who have re-
cenlly come to Washington are often
at a loss to know to whom calls are
due.
Mother-in-law frequently bears the
same name as daughter-in-law, and
there are many statesmen whose cog
nomens are duplicated In private life
in the Government service Society
women concede that certain ladies' are
justified in using only their last name.
No one criticised the wiuows or such
man as General Grant James q.
B.aine. Philip Sheridan. James "A.
Garfield or John A. Logan because the
public at once recognizes their ident-
ity. 1t is customary here for the wives
OF the three great branches OF the
Government to use such cards as Mrs.

Henderson, and Mrs. Dewey and Mrs.
Miles give no address on their cards

think it an absolute impertinence.
Even sisters OF Senators and their
daughters have taken up this fad, and
as a result there is no end OF confu-
sion in ones wishing list. 1t is ill-bred
to cause sucn annoyance for the sake
of little vanity"

MONROE DOCTRINE NOT INVOLVED

Because of unsettled conditions in
Venezuela, where Germany is about
to collect a claim by the usual process
employed by all governments, or fol
some other reason. several American
war vessels have been sent recently in
to Central American waters.
This is about the only foundation
for sundry rumors of a sanguinary
between this country and Germany
over the Monroe doctrine.

dent Monroe, and since maintained by
our Government can be no more con-

They do not know how he manages 10

toward Admiral Schley. They do not
understand how he could possibly ap-
prove the findings of the two retired
Rear-Admirals of the Court of Inquiry.
They know why he reprimanded GEN
eral Miles but they do not understand
why he differs from Admiral Dewey
1t is no secret to people who were
conversant WIN public affairs at
Washington in 1878. that Admiral
Dewey owes almost everything that
he is to President Roosevelt. 1t vas

Secretary OF the Navy, in conjunction
with Senator Proctor of Vermont, the
bovhood friend of Dewey, who caused
Dewey to be sent to the Asiauc station
and gave him the opportunity to win
glorious victory in Manila bay
Secretary Long was overruled in thls
matter He wanted TO send to that sta
tion a worthy old admiral OF the name
of Howell, wholly lacking IN spirit and
enterprlse-the last man perhaps who
ought to have been sent~-a man or the
type a1terward assigned to command
in important position; man OF whom
it has been said by a high naval au-
thoritv that If he had been appointed
he would probably be blockading
Manila now. The man Long wished to
send never would have entered the
bay. He never would have 'risked" the
torpedoes. He never would have been

President Roosevelt knows Secretary
Long down to the ground. He knoW'
that the Secretary is procrastlnator
He knows that Long would be mor
successful as president Of peace
society than as Secretary Of the Navy
He knows that Long declared that Wa!
was impossible and should not be. He
knows that Long was not prepared for
war. and considered that it would be
almost a crime to be ready for it. He
knows that Long, permitted the am
munition chests of the Navy TO be
empty and that it was actually with
ont supplies when the crisis came.
The President knows that a certain
Assistant Secretary of the Navy at
that time. one Theodore Roosevelt,
took upon himself the entire respon-
siblity of putting the Navy In state
Of preparation for war. He knows. as
everyone even moderately behind the
scenes at Washington at the time
knew, that the aforesaid Theodore
Roosevelt rushed train across the
continent filled with ammunition for
our Asiatic feet, and that II he had
not acted thus Dewey might have been
in no position to destroy the enemy in
Manila bay without the loss of a man
on our side.
Then why all this delcacy in deal
ing with Secretary Long? He Is an in
competent, vainglorious fussy old
man, and never should have been
given the position he now occupies,
and which he has not filled with credit
to himself or to the Nation.
Are the Republican leaders com
pelling Roosevelt to be unjust?
