In manner to help make It seIf-main-
tanning 1t would be at variance with
every principle OF business for the State to
embark in an industry that would not pay
to go to making vitrified brick, for in
stance, without knowing whether the brick
could be sold, or II sold, so disposed OF
that the State could get something for the
labor. The third bill. making an appropria-
ton for a brick plant and arranging some
OF the details. is at variance with every
principle of business, since it involves
leap in the dark. The State must look
after its affairs as prudent business men
would, and no prudent business man would
go into the brick business without having
matured plans. The bill providing that the
prison labor shall be employed upon the
States account in manufacturing would
involve a large outlay for machinery and
tools, and if anything were made which
could be reasonably sold in the open mar
ket there would be the same objection to
manufacturing on account of the State as
there would be TO the present system. 1t
can be added that where manufacturing
for the State has been tried it has been
far from satisfactory. Some States are yet
involved in the experiment. 1t would seem
TO be wiser to await results OF the expert
ments OF other States before Indiana COM
mits itself to a system that will be bur-
den to the taxpayers.

One of the best measures of practical re-
form that has been introduced during the
present session of the Legislature is Repre-
sentative Stansbury's bill providing that
standard supplies for public schools shall
be purchased by state board under five
year contracts awarded to the lowest and
best bidder, after advertisement in several
newspapers of large circulation. That is
the proper way to make all purchases of
public supplies. Some of the worst scan
dals that have occurred in the State have
been in connection with the purchase of
school supplies, and there is reason to be-
lieve that many irregularities have been
is certain also that gross extravaganza has
often been practiced under legal forms
and that a great deal more money has
been spent for school supplies than should
have been. Mr.. Stansbury's bill proposes
that supplies shall be purchased by con-
tract, as above indicated, by a board con-
sisting of the Governor, auditor of state,
superintendent of public instruction and
one county superintendent and one city
superintendent of schools, to be named by
the Governor, and to be of different political
parties. Contrary to the usual rule in Gre
ating commissions, this one would cost
the State scarcely anything. 1t would con-
sist of public officials and school super
intendents, who would perform the duties
devolved upon them without compensation,
except a per diem to the two superin-
tendents for the time actually employed.
1t is believed such a law would establish a
valuable reform and save the people of the
State a large amount at very trifling ex-

The charge that the ministers in this city

The charge that the ministers in this city
have been domineering i'm their hostility to
the amendment of the Nicholson law and
to the Sunday baseball bill cannot be sus-
tanned by as much of their observations as
has been published. AS a whole, the pro-
tests of the clergy have been dignified and
argumentative rather than denunciatory.
One preacher so far forgot himself to
declare that the Marion county delegation
is without moral perception, but he is not a
man who would be given place in the first
rank of the clergy of the city. Some of
the members of the Legislature have COM
planned that ministers and others who are
constituents sent them threatening letters
relative to the amendment of the Nicholson
law. 1t is unfortunate that, in their zeal,
threat, abuse and detraction are resorted
to by a class of reformers who do a cause
more harm than good. The man who has
no other argument than invective should
fall out of the ranks of the reformers.

rate OF only p per cent. Considering the
age Of this membership. very few being less

small indeed. In 1896 the death rate in the
Indiana department was a fraction over 2

PRISON LABOR TO-DAY.

To-day the bill relating TO prison labor
will come up in the House by assignment.
The Senate has passed the Matscn bill ex-
tending the period of contracting the labor
six years. This will give time 10 examine
other methods OK disposing of it. Another
bill which will be considered at the same
time is that which provides for a commits
sion TO consider the subject OF employing
prison labor. or a part OF it. in the manu-
facture OF vitrifed brick. and report its
feasibility TO the next Legislature. Still
another bill makes an appropriation for a
plant for the making OF brick without in
vestigation. Still another bill provides
that at the end OF existing contracts the
prison labor be put at work manufacturing
on the States account. -
The first two bills named seem TO be
sound propositions. in that the first con-
tinues the contract system until a matured
plan can be devised for utilizing the labor

Too many American musicians permit their
dignity to be lowered by appearing In pub
lie concerts, or recitals without compensa-
ton. while the foreigners on the pro-
gramme receive proper remuneration for
their services, though often I'm very
worthy cause. This lowers the value OF
concert work In this country that in Eu-
rope Is most profitable, and educates the
public 10 reserve their higher salaries for
foreign talent which they cannot otherwise
employ. and this to the further partial II
not nnal, exclusion Of American work. This
seems 10 me TO be great injustice TO all
OF our home institutions, which have never
before in the history of American music
done better work. IL also teaches the pub
lie lack OF appreciation of American art.
and encourages greater invasion Of Euro
pean musicians.
Mr.. Sherwood, who, as all musicians
know, ranks second to none as an artist.
is right in taking this dignified stand. What
he does not say. but what is also true, is
that many of the foreigners who receive
such high honors in this country are really
inferior musicians and not deserving of the
attention paid them. Until American artists
value themselves rightly the public will not
properly appreciate them.

John ID. Rockefeller's attempt to intimi-
date or coerce senators regarding anti
trust legislation is the boldest thing of the
kind ever attempted in this country. BY
his gifts TO religious, educational and char
liable purposes Mr. Rockefeller has shown
that he can be liberal in some good direc-
tons but in money and business matters
he seems 10 be devoid of moral sense. By
sending such a dispatch he did to sew
eral senator's he showed himself several
kinds OF fool. He was fool to imagine

pose. a fool 10 think it would not become

All things considered, the agreement upon

force larger increase than they obtained.

At the same time the miners should be
