INDIANA.s ECONOMY.
Auditor Hart Says No States Business

is Done at Less Expense.
From the indianapolis News.
mo state in the Union will begin the new
year in better financial condition than will
Indiana said the state auditor. There
Is not state government in the United
States that is being operated at smaller ex-
pense than that of Indiana. This state Is
running it's business on the same plan that
the great business interests If the country
are adopting. The railroads are cOnsolidat-
Ing, cutting down expenses and abolish.n
many officers and clerks. In New York
city the banks are getting together under
one head with this object in view The tin
plate Industries, the iron interests tie
glass makers, have all come together
placed their business affairs under one
head, with the result that they are keep
ing money IN their treasures that they
used to pay out.
THE state of Indiana has no expensive
insurance and railroad commissions to dip
into its treasury. The state has these af-
fairs grouped under the heads of present
departments and they are looked after
without the expense that other states have
to pay. For intance, the auditor of state
has in his department the insurance, bank
ing and building and loan interests. He has
these to look after in addition to the book
keeping of the states finances. The audi
tor Is paid for being the auditor but he has
the other work to do. 1t costs the state OF
Ohio more to keep up its insurance COM
mission each year than II does Indiana tc
conduct the entire department OF the audi

they should change those names the pain would hurt
just bad. Omega Oil stops pain. The trouble may

The resignation OF DR.. Andrew d. White
as ambassador to Germany ends a public
life OF great usefulness to his country
Under it's founder he did the practical work
IN establishing Cornell University, being it's
first president. In 1871 he was member Of
General Grants San Domingo commission,
which favored the annexation of the island
From 1878 to 1851 he was American minis
ter TO Berlin. From 1892 to 1894 he was
American minister to Russia He has been
our ambassador to Berlin since 1897. In
this capacity he has rendered this country
excellent service In correcting the misrep-
RESERVATIONS which grew out of the Spanish
war and the alleged attitude OF Germany to
the United States 1t is remarkable that
while he devoted so much time to public
affairs he so wisely directed the building up
OF Cornell University as to make it the first
IN broadening its course of study so as to
include technical studies.

The death of James +. Legate, of Kan
sas which has been commented on by
Kansas City papers, recalls one of his ex-
periences which he subsequently related,
and which, If it has been denied publicly,
has not attracted attention. In 1884 some of
the managers of the Blaine campaign were
alarmed at the prominence of the Prohibi-
ton movement in New York after it was
announced by Mr.. Blaine himself that he
did not vote on the constitutional amend
ment submitted TO the people of Maine in
September before the presidential election.
Mr. Legate was in touch with the national
committee and at his suggestion he met
the Prohibition candidate for President,
Kansas man. with suggestions that he
withdraw from the field or cease to speak
in rural New York and other States where
the campaign was directed against Mr..
Blaine. AS Mr.. Legate told the story in
1888, he arranged with the Prohibition can
didate to practically withdraw upon the
receipt of $4,000. When Mr.. Legate re-
turned to the committee with this offer IT
had so much faith in Mr.. Blaines election
that it did not believe it necessary to
carry out the proposition suggested by
Mr.. Legate Thereafter the efforts of the
Prohibition candidate were put forth in
localities where the loss of a few votes
would be most harmful to Mr.. Blaine. The
Prohibition vote was unusually heavy in
1884 i'm rural New York. Mr.. Legate always
believed that if the proposition had been
accepted Mr.. Cleveland would not have re-
ceived in New York the 1,O47 votes which
gave him that State and made him Presi-
dent.

POST-STAMP ADVERTISING.
st. Louis Fair to Enjoy Privilege
Countless Applicants Refused

Washington Special in New York Post.
The postmaster at st. Louis is going TO
use his Worlds Fair caneeling stamp
on his letters after all. 1t has been discov-
cred that permission for this was granted to
Postmaster Baumhof in September, 1899,
before the postmaster generals sweeping
prohibition of advertising devices on
ceiling stamps. Nevertheless, that legend
Worlds Fair, st. Louis, 1904' has caused
no end of trouble to the department. Every
mail brings letters from postmasters and
business men throughout the country ask
ing permission to use canceling stamps
similar to that used by the ST Louis Of
fce' for advertising everything under the
sun, from church fairs to barkeepeTs' festi-
walls In fact the advertisement of a horse
race, at Nashville. on a canceling stamp
was what brought the matter TO the atten-
ton of the postmaster general, who re-
ceived a letter from a minister OF that city
protesting against having his private cor
respondence degraded by association with
sporting event." hence the order OF prohi-
bition.
A Boston manufacturer of postal supplies
has been soliciting business from post
masters, and has thus sold number of
dies advertising carniVals, fairs, etc. In
every case where the attention of the de-
partment has been called TO the matter the
postmasters have been instructed TO discon-
tinue the use Of these, and this makes
trouble for the manufacturer in turn. In
the heap Of letters OF application are COM
municationS from senator's and representa-
tives urging that permission be granted to
certain organizat ions in their districts TO
use this method of advertising. All have
been refused. st. Louis is the only town on
the map to-day that enjoys this special
privilege.

A HOME TEST.

A few days since the Journal gave the
official statistics showing the wonderful de-
velopment of the glass industry in Indiana.
In twenty years the number of establish
ments increased from four to no; the cap
ital invested from S1442,OO0 to $12,7 $50; the
number of employees from S62 to 13,O15; the
amount of wages paid from S2S4,2O7 to s., 22e,-
047. During this period of twenty years the
glass industry has been greatly extended,
the qualities improved and the cost re-
duced. Glass is now used for many more
purposes than it was twenty-five years ago.
In some lines our manufacturers are send
ing their goods into nearly every country,
while. even with the high tariff. Great
Britain, Belgium and France are exporting
considerable quantities. This is true par
ticularly of window glass. in the production
Of which Indiana leads every other State
When the manufacture was Insignificant in
this State, the more valuable raw material
like soda ash and suphate OF soda were
imported, but now these are produced at
home at a much lower figure.
As the labor in the glass industry is paid
are paid in Europe, according to the coun-
try, it stands to reason that we could have
no glass industry of any consequence but
for the high rate of tariffs imposed. 1t also
stands to reason that we would not have a
glass industry under the present conditions
If the duty should be repealed, unless the
American wage in the glass industry should
be reduced TO the level of Il at of Europe
At the last State convention the Indiana
Democracy declared for "a tariff for rev.
enue only As considerable revenue is
derived from the duty imposed upon glass,
and the free-trade theory is that the
amount Of the duty on any article made in
this country in competition with other
countries is paid by the consumer to the
manufacturers and their higher paid labor,
the logical conclusion is that to prevent the
robbery Of the people" as the free-trade
advocates put it, glass should be put upon
the free list. IL a Democratic Congress
should be elected upon the platform Of the
Indiana Democrats it would be in duty
bound to put glass upon the free list II
this were done, enc OF two things would
follow: either the Indiana glass works must
close or the wages Of the employees must
be reduced TO the level of those in Europe.
To say nothing Of the glass makers, how
many farmers. salaried men and business
men generally, who purchase a few dollars
worth Of glass year. would favor a change
in the tariff on glass which would reduce
the 7,226,O47 of wages to onc-third or even
one-half OF that amount? Can the loss of
one-half or twO-thirds OF the present pur-
chasing power Of the 1900 glass workers
be cut off without inflicting serious injury
upon those who produce and sell food and
clothing in all the region roundabout?

MOSQUITO DETERMINATION.
Use for Goldfish by "A Man Who Made
n Water Garden.

Country Life in America.
What shall we do with the water garden
which appears so perfectly suited for rails
ing mosquitoes? Shall we fill it up, drain
it off, or pour oil upon its troubled waters?
If his pond should prove as great source
of the pleasure to the reader as mine has
been to me, he will be loath to adopt any
of these radical measures. Repeated and
diligent search had failed to reveal the
presence of any mosquito larvae in my
poind, and this seemed ali the more strange
when, in the quiet waters Of the brook, not
fifty feet away, | discovered thousands OF
active ''Wigglers.'' 1t seemed proba BILE that
the goldfish were holding the mosquitoes in
check in the artificial pond; while in the
brook the insects We're breeding in COM
parative safety.
To test the correctness of this theory, 1
took from the pond a small goldfish and
placed il in an aquarium where il could
feed upon mosquito larvae and under OBJ
servation. The result was anticipated
Whenever they We're dropped into the water
the ''wigglers' disappeared in short time.
When IT is once understood that goldfish
parativey hardy, ii is 10 be hoped that
they will be introduced into many small
bodies of water, such lily ponds and
water gardens, where mosquitoes are likely
to breed. In my experience these FISH can
easily be reared in any sheltered pond
where the water is shoal and warm.
