TECHNICAL INSTITUTE FUND.

But three days remain in which to make
up the remainder of the fund needed to
purchase the site for the technical insti-
tute. and as considerable sum is yet lack
ing-nearly 900 of the necessary 1854, 600
1t Is necessary that some liberal contribu-
tions be made The people of limited
means, those who can by some personal
sacrifice give amounts varying from 50 to
800, have responded willingly to the calls
made upon them. Thanks are due to them
and to the prblic-spirited men of larger
means i'm Indianapolis and out who have
contributed generously; but what is wanted
now is response from other men who have
not yet been heard from. but toward whom
their fellow-citizens are looking expectant-
ly-men whose present prosperity is an out
growth of the development of the city, who
have spent all or the greater part of their
lives here. whose business has grown as the
city has grown, and who, therefore, owe
the place Of their residence a debt. They
may not have considered the matter in
this light, but this is the fact, neverthe-
less. Never will they have a better oppor-
tunity for paying at least part of this
obligation than now 1t is not worth while
at this late day to dwell upon the Importance
of such an institution as the proposed tech
meal school or upon its value to the town.
These are beyond dispute. The only point
to be considered is. shall it be allowed to
go elsewhere because of the indifference
of citizens who could and should make up
the amount? The Journal has no DISPOSE
ton to dictate in such matters but in so
good cause it takes the liberty to appeal
to citizens who have not yet subscribed to
the fund to give prompt and careful con-
sideration to the subject, and by making
up the deficit save Indiana polls from what
would really be disgraceful and humiliat-
ing failure of a worthy enterprise. 1t is to
be remembered, moreover, that If the ar
senal grounds are not scotland 1t is not
known that any other would-be purchaser
is in the background with $4,000 in hand
the army post may also be lost to In
dianapolis. There will be lasting regret, for
business reasons, that will affect the entire
community If one or both of these desir-
able institutions shall be lost to Indianapo-
lis for the lack of a proper public spirit
and few thousand dollars.

France is taking in the various interna-
tional questions. Though he dwelt chiefly

over the whole range of international at

part taken by the United States in the re-
cent Venezuelan affair. During his speech
NJ. Delcasse declared that the independence
of Morocco was essential to the security OF

usually stormy scenes in the House of
Commons tonight during the discussion
of the case of Lieutenant Colonel Kinloch,
of the Grenadier Guards, who was placed
on half pay for permitting the hazing of
junior officers in his regiment. Colonel
Kinloch's brother-in-law, William Brom-
ley-Davenport, and Lord Hugh Cecil and
other Tories violently attacked the War
Office, accusing Field Marshal Earl Rob-
erts of being Improperly Influenced. Sew
eral remarks were withdrawn on War Sec
rotary Brodricks demand The Nationalist
members yelled and shouted with delight
especially when Winston Churchill vainly
attempted to speak. Secretary Brodrick
in wrathful speech. defended Lord Rob-
erts and the War Office, and denied that
aristocratic pressure had been used to pro-
cure Colonel Kinlochs dismissal. He as
serted that pressure was exercised on the
other side. in that titled persons had threat
ened every prominent member of the War
Office. Brodrick characterized this pressure
as terrorism. BrOdrick refused To submit
the papers on the subject to the house. but
when violently assailed by Lord Hugh
Cecil Brodrick promised to give the papers.
