INDIANA EDITORIAL NOTES.

Now that the Michigan City prison af-
fairs are to be given a thorough investiga-
ton by the Republican state administra-
ton, the Democratic dailies can turn their
attention to finding something else about
which they want informatiOn.-Rich

Senator Mark Hanna went over to New
York last week and presided at a peace
conference between would-be strikers and
their employers. BY his efforts the strike

Can ii be possible that DR.. Horne is ex-
pecting TO become a world-renowned spe-

1t is not generally known I'm this To-
cality that the late Glenn Studebaker and

We would suggest to indianapolis a solu-
tiOn of it's vexed natural-gas problem: AL
low the gas companies a fair price for gas
and to adopt the use of meters, but require
them to furnish the meters free of rent.
The meter system is the only fair and
honest way by which to furnish gas of any
kind But gas companies ought to meas
ure it out to their patrons without charge
for the measuring. Palladium.
An impressive exhibition of the effect of
the prosperity which Republican admins
tration has brought the country is seen in
the advance of 10 per cent. which has been
granted TO the cottOn-min employees of
Fall River, Mass. This will affect about
thirty thousand persons in that community,
and as 1t is extending all over New Eng
land. several hundreds of thousands are
likely to participate in It eventually.

Down in Springfield Ill, there is a man
on the bench of the county court who be-
lieves in making strenuous use of the law.
Last week four gamblers were taken before
Judge Murray, who imposed fines aggregat-
ing ST. 700 for violations Of the anti-gam-
bling laws. As a result the gamblers OF
Springfield have quit business. There is no
money in ii at that price. Judge Murray
views the law rightly. Such fines he i'm
posed are not to be construed as either
blackmail or license They are notices tC
gamblers to quit business.-Fort Wayne
Sentinel.

/ TO the surgeons and doctors, who presented
no claims and left their remuneration en-
/ tirely to the judgment OF Senator Hanna
! This, like all other incidents. ceremonies
