AFTER ENGEL ESTATE.
Imperial German Consul In Chicago Write
the County Court

The County Judge has received a
letter from the Imperial Consulate of
Germany in Chicago, seeking infor-
nation in regard to the estate of the
late William Engel, who died in this
city several months ago. In his letter
the Consul states that he makes the
inquiry on behalf of the next of kin,
residing in Germany.
By the terms of the will left by Mr..
Engel all the property was divided
among friends and relatives il this
country, and as the will has already
been admitted to probate it looks as if
there was little chance to secure any
other division Of the estate.

The suggestion of the President in his
speech at Logansport that the matter of
the revision of the tariff should be re-
a new one. In fact, it was tried during
the Arthur administration, but the COM
mission did not have sufficient time and
Congress did not take all of its bill. Gen.
eral Harrison in a discussion of the SUBJ
ject at one time favored such commits
sion to prepare a bill. While there is a
small minority in the United States in
favor of free trade, 1t Is safe to say that
the Washington Post spoke intelligently
when it said that the sentiment of the
country is in favor of protection. If the
question of the tariff were not in politics
the element opposed to an effective pro-
tective tariff would not be worth count
ing. Great Britain Is the only country
on practical free trade basis, unless Bel
GUM and Switzerland should be put in
that list. France broke away from a
free-trade alliance of ten years made by
Napoleon III as soon as the time had ex-
pired. Germany was put under protective
tariff by Bismarck, and from the date
that that country ceased to be dumping
ground for the manufactures of other
countries 1t has made marvellous progress
as a manufacturing nation. Its drawback
at present is that the low standard OF
wages, in spite of the advance under pro-
lection, makes it impossible for the peo-
pie TO consume so large a part of the
products of German factories that it must
find markets in other countries. Great
Britains colonies tend to protective tariffs
and even England itself requires hei
provinces to give her manufacturers a
lower tariff than they do other nations.
1t may not be Immediately practicable
but If a tariff commission Of expert:
could be created to make changes IN
schedules from time to time on the basis
of adequate protection. there is reason t.
believe that a tariff could be devised which
would afford ample protection to Ameri
can industries and at the same time take
the topic out of politics and place it upor
a permanent basis where the industrie.
of the country would not be affected by
any change OF party. There Is nothing 81
demoralizing to the business of the coun
try as even the fear of a radical revision
of the tariff. If 1t were probable that &
Walker tariff might be enacted two years
hence, experience warrants the conclusion
that the present prosperity would soon b.
a thing of the past

The public-spirited citizens who have
been engaged for some weeks in soliciting
contributions to the arsenal ground pur-
chase fund deserve the greatest possible
credit. Their interest in the success of the
movement which means the establishment
here of an army post and a technical
school Of national scope is no greater than
that of every other citizen of Indianapolis,
and the community should see to 1t that
their efforts shall not be allowed to fail.
The creation of a committee Of ten who
have volunteered their services ought to
prove valuable aid to the original solicit
tors, who. for obvious reasons, could not
cover the whole ground. The committee
of ten is endeavoring to reach many per-
sons who have not been called upon per-
sonally. Through Postofice Box AIS the
committee solicits contributions from all
quarters and in any sum. no matter how
small or how large. The movement has
now become one of the people by the peo-
pie, and If 1t succeeds its benefits will GER

ABSURD AND VISIONARY.

Senator Mason, of Illinois, has a plan
for ending the coal strike and providing
a means Of mitigating the evils of such
ever labor disputes arise between mine
owners and their employees involving sus-
pension of work the government shall take
possession OF the mines and operate them
as temporary receiver. The senator is said
to have prepared a bill on the subject
dent when the latter should have visited
Chicago during the trip which has been in
terrupted. In an interview published few
days ago the senator said:
The bill is based upon the theory that the
coal miners are part OF the national re-
sources of the country. and that the people
have material interest in keeping them
going. The mine owner might complain,
with some reason that he is not permitted
to operate his own property. but the answer
TO that Is that his property is one or the
natural resources of the country which the
people have a right to expect he will keep
in operation. Having failed in his efforts
to operate his property 1t becomes the duty
OF the people to protect themselves. at the
same time giving to the mine owner his
legitimate profit for his investments.
Meantime the great mass of people who
fitted without injury TO any one else.
This plan for ending the. strike is not
more crude and impracticable than some
others that have been suggested, but ii is
a remarkable one to emanate from a United
States senator. Under the law of receiver
ships a court Of equity will only appoint a
receiver to manage property and account
for the proceeds pending litigation or to
conserve the rights of creditors. 1t is not
likely any court would recognize the con-
stitutionality of law giving the govern
| ment arbitrary power to constitute itself
a receiver of valuable properties on account
of a labor dispute and for no other pur-
pose than to serve the convenience of a por-
ton OF the public. The Constitution says
no person shall be deprived OF property
without due process of law. and that pri-
vate property shall not be taken for public
use without just compensation. 1t would
be very difficult to frame such bill as
Senator Mason proposes that would not
centravene these provisions. The courts
would hold that taking temporary posses
sion OF private property was the same In
principle as taking permanent possession,
and that this could not be done without
| due process OF law and just compensation
TO the owners. Moreover. the term public
uses" which is the only ground on which
private property can be taken by the gov
eminent. means the necessary uses of the
state and not the convenience OF those per-
| sons who use anthracite coal
From another point of view the plan pro-
posed Is visionary. Senator Mason offers 1t
as a means of ending the present strike
and preventing future ones. but there is
no reason to believe 1t would have such an
effect The arbitrary seizure and opera
ton of mines by the government would not
compel miners 20 abate their demands nor
