One question which it was thought
would occupy subordinate place in
the coming campaign is rapidly com-
ing to the front owing to variety of
unexpected circumstances, and that
is the Philippine. The recent decision
of the Supreme Court, handed down
last Monday, that not even American
citizens, if they happen to reside in
the Philippine Islands are entitled to
a trial by jury, together with the
vigorous dissent of Mr.. Justice Har-
Ian, attracts wide attention. II has
long been an open political secret that
the anti-imperialists will support the
party which denOunces imperialism
and promises freedom aud self-gov-
ernment to the Filipinos. This the
Maryland democracy, inspired by
what the fine hand OF Senator German
has done. In few days a large
Philippine Commission will arrive in
Washington, and be entertained at
luncheon by the President, as well as
by the business men Of the city. No
political speeches may be made, but
from June Is to Is the Filipinos will
be the guests Of the New York Stock
Exchange, with a big banquet at
Delmonicos. The editor Of Manila
Times is in Washington, to urge free
trade. He thinks the people of the
Islands will be glad to come into the
Union as a Territory, with the privi-
leges Of citizenship. Allthese matters
are somewhat perplexing and indicate
that there must be a modification of
policy. But the republicans are al
ways equal to the situation and will
hardly stand by and allow themselves
to be out bid by the opposition.

It is known that Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow has been
engaged for some time in the forml-
dable task of recognizing the rural
free delivery in order to be ready for
the new arrangements provided by
law which go into operation on the
FIRST Of July. The number Of divisions
is TO be reduced from eight to six;
rural agents are to be employed; and
the new schedule Of salaries will take
effect. The Department will not be
able to do as much for the clerks as is
intended, since for the coming fiscal
year the amount appropriated for the
increase of salaries is but half a
million Of dollars while for the cur
rent year the amount was one million
and two hundred thousand dollars.
OF clerks employed in the postal
service who receive more than 81, 400
a year, of whom there are more than
500, only 90 can be promoted. OF
those who receive less than 81, 400
only about 8095 Of those who have
been recommended for promotion
will be made happy. And yet, the
democrats, in their state platforms,
love to harp upon the extravaganza
Of the republicans in voting away
the public money.

Teams Will Take Place Saturday.

The opening game Of the Panhan-
die League of baseball teams will
take place at the Driving Park Satur-
day, {at 2:30. The Earlham field was
tried for but a field meet will occur
there. The Driving Park is not in
very good condition but the teams
will make the best of it and such
little matter will amount to nothing
to such players. Both the Richmond
team and the Logansporters are in
good shape for the contest and good
game can confidently be expected.
The soubriquet, Railroaders can
not longer be applied to Logansport,
as it was to the polo team Of that
city. The cities that are represented
in this panhandle league are Rich
mond, Chicago, Pittsburg, Terre
Haute. DennisOn, Columbus, and Lo-
gansport.
The Richmond club has a fast set
of players, the majority Of them hav-
ing played with some Of the best
semi-professional teams in the coun-
try. Rockhill playe>' with Elkhart
for several seasons; Penery was a
, star of the Manila team of the Phil
ippine1sland league; Myers and Will
son, both we'll known, were the mail,-
stays Of the crack Richmond high
school team; Emery played with the
Maroons, of indianapolis; Rethmeyer
the crack pitcher, with the Pekin,
(Hl.) and Peoria (Ill) teams; Clar!
with Lynchburg, Va; Davidson, Chel
| sea Haseltine and Paul with the New

A DECISION
Of Importance Rendered by Judge
Comstock.

Judge Comstock of this cityin the
appellate court, at indianapolis, rem
dered the following decision in the
suit of the indianapolis Street Rail
way VS.. Schomberg:
All instructions must be constru
ed together, and, if when so con-
strued. they state the law correctly
as applicable to the facts, the cause
will not be reversed upon the instruc-
tions. 2. A child three years old is
incapable of being guilty of negli
eence. 3. Where a motorman in
charge of car becomes aware of a
child three years old being in danger
of becoming run over, in time tC
avoid any injury by use of such care
as the dangerous position Of the child
and it's age requires him under the
circumstances to exercise, the com
panv is liable for the injury if one
follow the failure of the motorman
to thus do his duty.

For one brief moment be had enjoyed
the gold and then
He did not rise, but crawled back,
groveling as though in penance. He
felt that he had stained her memory
like the earth-spotted snow that lay
around. The deep satire of il all en-
compassed him. Fierce, bitter looks
I swept across his strained features.
His blood-shot eyes glared menacingly
at the cold, distant peaks, at the tall,
swaying frs, at the pure, white mantle
that enveloped all, as though they
were the authors of his distress. He
cursed the yellow metal that cleaned
at him across the grave. His hands
moved aimlessly about him until
something that sent thrill through
him, touched one. He held it forth,
it was the bunch CT faded roses.
He gazed upon them until the dis.
tant peaks grew brighter hued, till the
gentle murmur of the frs showed a
deeper meaning, till the white mantle
covered only the stains of the world,
till the tears came.
The light of day was still strong
when the man stood beside the grave,
alone with nature. Slowly, quietly he
again laid the body in the grave, then
as if covering a sleeping child in its
cradle, he cast upon it the heaped up
earth. Then with calm and fearless
face he turned and strobe heavily
toward the far-off valley.
The snow kept falling, falling down
upon the black mound. At first it
turned to tears. but soon enveloped
all within it's pail of white.

The city court and prison Is of

pr!ts set out as warning to the peo-

the judicial chamber in which a score
of soldiers and coolies lie sprawled In
the shade. On the floor before the
bench are bloodstains, and the hideous
jailor will show you how they came
there. Along his cell are heavy rat
tans, warranted to bring the flesh
away at every blow, clubs to break
bones and cords to strangle. 1t Is not
difficult to extract confessions by such
persuasion. Not far away is the execu-

lands, is the foreign settlement,
small area containing consulates,
banks, foreign hotel and a few resi-
dences. las streets are broad and we'll
shaded and its gardens attractive. On
the river side lie gunboats of the pow
ers, and all around the Shameen flows
a broad canal, whose two bridges are
guarded by Chinese soldiers and block
ed at night by massive gates.
Over the bridge our procession
passes and in a moment is lost in the
labyrirthian depths of the native city.
This is a city OF blood and dark mys-
tcries, q city from which even China
men fee to escape the robbery and
murder which follows in the train Of
the mob and the private cdicts of the
mandarins. This is the city OF starv.
ing poverty and plundered wealth. the
city from which 81 per cent of the
Cinnamon in the United States have
emigrated.
Our chair-bearers shout to other
coolies, burden-bearers, peddlers and
merchants to clear the way, and as the
poles of our chairs advance, the
crowds give way and stand scowling
or merely curious to see the occu-
pants of the chairs. There is much
good nature, however, for this is fam
inc time in the crowded provinces of
the upper river and the American con-
sui has given away stores of rice, and
so the people say America is their
very good friend. Some laugh at our
clothes. or our fair skins, but there is
no shouting or insult. Tomorrow
some rumor may set fire to the city
and make the streets impossible to
foreigners.
On through the babel of shops we
