II was a graceful act in the Governor TO
select the Evansville company. which stood
the brunt of the riotous attack on the jail
in its own city, as the object of special
commendatory address, in the presence of
all their comrades. Nor was it an address
to be noted as "a neat complimentary
Speech" like an after-dinner talk, but
message that said something and meant
something, a speech we'll calculated to go
into history along with the Governors
prompt action in dealing with the Evans
vile situation and his sound judgment in
squelching the effort to appease the mob
by dragging a sick man from prison to be
railroaded TO the gallows.
There is one paragraph in particular in
this address that the Journal would like
to echo and emphasize After describing the
conditions under which the Evansville
guardsmen did their full duty in repulsing
a mob composed of neighbors and possibly
personal friends, the Governor declared:
Behind you in that moment stood every
loyal citizen of Indiana; behind you and
behind all those who wear the uniform OF
the Indiana National Guard, in all that
you do in defense of the States integrity,
the laws majesty and the honor of the
flags they stand to-day and will stand for
ever
Never was a truer thing said. The loyal
citizens of not only Indiana, but of the
whole country. will stand behind the citizen
soldiery forever in all that they do in de-
Tense of the law and the flag and the in
tegrity of State and country. The Amer
lean people are not going backward. More
than thousand years of Anglo-Saxon
growth In decent and orderly self-govern-
ment. purchased with patience. blood and
toll, stand behind American institutions Of
to-day, and the leaven of alien blood Of
Latin and Slavic origin is not and can never
be powerful enough to change the trend
| of public sentiment or popular faith in
them. Where one traitor that hates Amer
lean law and American institutions can be
| found to raise the banner of treason there
will always be hundreds of patriots to raise
the good old flag that stands for liberty and
law.

OPPOSED TO INCREASE.
Controller Breunfg Says the Cfty's
Finances Will Not Justify 1t.

Finances VIII Not Justify IL.
City Controller Breunig is opposed to the
Indianapolis firemen having an increase in
wages this year. He made this statement
last night. The city's finances are not in a
condition to warrant an increase to the
firemen or the police, or to the employees
Of any other department, this year, Mr..
Breunig said. and he will oppose such an or
dinance.
1t is understood that there is a movement
on among the fremen to ask for general
increase amounting to about 10 per cent.
If Mayor Bookwalter and the members OF
the Board Of Public Safety favor it.
1.-The city is not in shape financially to
give the firemen an increase this year, said
Controller Breung. Last year they had
an increase, which increased the firemen s
pay roll about $4,000 year. II the firemen
should be given an increase this fall, that
would simply open up hole for the police
department to demand an increase. And
the fremen and policemen could not be paid
tax levy to the limit. The city is simply
not in condition now to pay these men
higher wages. Considering the. fact that
lated directly from special tax levy.
think they are fairly well paid
Mr.. Breunig has not been approached Of
ficially about this matter yet, but the talk
started. At a conference of firemen recent
ly new salary and grading scheme was
prepared. The proposition has been sent
to the Board Of Safety. The pay of fore
men would be as follows under the provi-
sions Of this plan:
First grade, composed of those who have
served two years or more, $3.50 a day.
Second grade. composed Of those who have
served a year, $225 a day.
Third grade, composed of those who have
served less than a year, 81 day.
Substitutes, $40 a month. Substitutes now
receive s2.25 a day, but only for the time
\ they are actually employed
Captains now receive 81. so a day. Firemer
receive s225 a day, whatever their length
of service. Under the proposed plan the
captains would receive $1,000 year and the
| lieutenants $3.50.

The solemn exercises that have followed
the death of the Pope have been marked
by some curious outcroppings of supersti-
ton. The Pope himself showed some con-
cession to the failing when, for several
days, he predicted that he would die on
certain feast day. That might have been
because he felt that he could not posi-
bly, hold out longer, yet it showed a dis
position to recognize some sort of fateful
influence. Now the same sentiment is being
appealed to in favor of one of the car
dinals as possible candidate for the Pa
pacy. A dispatch says:
Many years ago the late Cardinal Paroc-
chi, who was not then even a bishop, one
day met an old woman in the country.
She was typical witch in appearance and
planted herself before Parocchi, saying:
THE bishop of Santa Rufina will be the
next rope" The woman refused to say
anything more. Parocchi repeated the tale,
which gained added circulation when he
was appointed to that see, and before his
death he was considered to be the most
likely successor of Pope Leo. When Paroc-
chi was dying he repeated the story of the
old woman's prophecy. The famous bish-
opric of Santa Rufina was afterward given
to Cardinal Scrafino Vannuetelli, and now
the people are asking themselves, will the
prophecy come true after all?
AS both of the principal characters in
this interesting story are dead. the imagi-
nation is left free to fill in the details. The
typical witch Is gone. the priest to whom
she made the prediction is gone. and there
is no contemporaneous evidence CT the truth
of the story, but the tradition remains, and
superstitious Italians are said to be offer
ing big bets that the present incumbent OF
the bishopric Of Santa Rufina will be
elected Pope. If 1t should turn out so il
would be a great boom for popular super
stition and the prophecies of typical
witches.
