The people who make these criticisms

THE DRIFT OF POLITICS.

Representative Overstreet, of this CITY,
who was the first of the Indiana congress
sional delegation to go on record against
the proposition to change the rural free
delivery service to the contract system,
yesterday reiterated his objections to the
suggested change and expressed the belief
that Congress will never sanction it,
II doubt he said. IF the department
officials really contemplate recommending
such q change, i'm spite Of all the reports
to that effect, for ii would be an i'm
mense undertaking and would involve too
many opportunities for Irregularities, to
use a mild term. such as the officials are
now striving diligently TO eradicate from
other branches OF the department 1 do
not believe that there have been any frauds
in the administration of the rural delivery
service. The service is young and has
grown at such rapid rate that some ex-
travagances were inevitable, and an ef-
fort VIII doubtless be made to correct faults
of that kind, but l do not believe the
change 20 the contract system will be con-
sidersd advisable. In the comparatively
1894. the rural delivery service has advanced
from the experimental stage where an an
nual appropriation of less than half a mill
lion dollars was all that was required, to
100000 was appropriated Tor the next
fiscal year, beginning July ]. Growing at
such leaps and bounds IL would have been
utterly impossible TO have managed the de-
but the work Is IN such shape now that
the faults can be corrected without any
radical departures.
las I said before. the change to the
contract system would mean economy at
the expense OF the efficiency OF the serv-
ice. The cheaper service would mean the
cheaper carrier. the cheaper horse, the
cheaper equipment and poorer and more

A DIVIDED SUPREME COURT
DECISION

The recent decision of the United States
sents some remarkable features 1t is re-
markable. first, in that it is rendered by
the same division of the court-five to four
that existed in the Porto Rico and the
Philippine cases. and this Notwithstanding
the fact that two new judges have taken
the places of two retired since those de-
cisions were rendered, In those cases the
court decided that in the case of newly
acquired possessions the Constitution did
not follow the flag to the extent of apply
ing itself in such possessions without sup
Elementary legislation by Congress. The
present decision follows the earlier ones.
The facts in the Hawaiian case are these:
Japanese named Mankichi was convicted
of manslaughter under the laws of that
Territory. which do not require a grand
jury Indictment and which permit a ma
jority of the trial jury TO convict. This
was after the annexation of Hawaii TO
the United States. but a joint resolution
of Congress had provided that the laws
of the islands mot contrary to the consti-
tuition of the United States" should remain
in force until changed by Congress. Man
kichi's counsel contended that his trial
without indictment by a grand jury and
his conviction by only majority of the
trial jurors was contrary to the Constitu-
ton OF the United States, which declares
that no person shall be held to answer for
a capital or other infamous crime unless
on presentment or indictment of a grand
jury Quite a number of papers. in COM
menting on the case. have stated that
the Constitution also provides that no per-
son shall be convicted OF crime except by
the unanimous verdict OF twelve Jurors.
This is a mistake. The Constitution does
not contain any such provision Unanimity

tuition says nothing about il. The papers

The local Democratic organ-or what Is
left of it--pFints some information on its
editorial page which does not consist with
it's editorials. The latter are generally to
the effect that the State and Nation are
going TO the bad under Republican rule and
that nothing can save them but the restora-
ton of the Democratic party to power. The
information that conflicts with this view
is in the form of an interview with w. d.
Frazer, State bank examiner. who says:
The deposits In our Indiana banks are in
creasing all of the time. In the Indian
apolis banks, for instance, the deposits are
ten times as great to-day as they were
five years ago. 1 find here and there a
banker who has a pessimistic view OF the
financial situation, who insists that the
pendulum has commenced to swing back

politicians everywhere that those who are
laggardly about getting into the admins

treated either as luEewarm friends or as

considered as q possible Republican candi-
date, but il ne did not require that all
those who are for him should take the first
suitable occasion TO declare themselves
something might happen before next year
that would bring formidable opposition
into the field.

not a good politician-that he lacked the
tact. skill and steadiness essential TO
