At CINCINNATI

Cincinnati started off well in the open
ing game of the season, but in the fifth
and sixth innings Harper weakened
perceptibly, allowing the Pittsburgs to
secure a commanding lead, which could
not be overcome. The attendance was
the largest ever seen at a local open
ing, there being 1918 people present to
witness the downfall of the home team.

Paper Company Goes Down

BUFFALO, n. Y. April 14.-Counsel
for the By-PrOducts Paper company OF
Niagara Falls secured an order from
Justice Childs in the supreme court
today requiring creditors of the con-
Germ and all others interested in the
company to show cause on July II next
why the company should not be dis
solved. At the same time an order was
granted naming EmmOns p. Bryant,
secretary and treasurer of the COM
pany. temporary receiver, his bond be-
ing fixed at $4,000.
Counsel when asked for the reason Of
the efforts to dissolve the company,
said:
Couldn't make a success of the
thing. that's all. The company was
organized three years ago with a cap
ital of $2,00O,000, taking over another
company, and was experimenting in a
process of making the finest kind Of

pose was refuse OF the cOmpanyS

The men behind the concern are said
to be prominent capitalists of New

Buys Picture of King Edward

NEW HAVEN, Conn. April 1.-THE
historical painting The Prince Of
Wales in India" by Verestchagin, the
great Russian artist, who lost his life
in the sinking of the battleship Petro-
pavlovsk, outside Port Arthur has been
purchased of Walter Malley of this
city and shipped to Calcutta. Mr.. NAL
ley says that the painting was pur-
chased through Secretary John Hay
for Lord CurZOn, viCerOy of India, and
that its final destination is one of the
great art museums in India.
The painting was bought by Mr.. NAL
ley at sale of works of art in New
York city in 1891. The price paid was
S4,125, which in Malleys opinion at the
time was remarkably low. He says
the great size of the canvass feet
long and Is feet wide-undoubtedly
prevented ready purchase and kept
down the price at which it was offered.
The composition represents the en-
trance of the prince of Wales. now
King Edward, into one of the cities Of
India.

THE COMING NAVAL FIGHT

Nothing short of divine Intervention,
apparently, can prevent the japanese
fleet under Admiral Togo from engag-
ing in death struggle with Rojest-
vensky's fleet. Prophecies as to the
outcome are futile. So far as mere
numbers are concerned, the Japanese
admiral is at a disadvantage, but if
there is one thing that has counted
for little in the present war 1t is that
one item of numbers. Moreover, the
most brilliant naval victories have been
won by those who were in the begin
ming outclassed by their opponents.
There is no good reason why this ap-
preaching naval conflict in the China
sea. or in the Pacific, if it is to be
fought there, should not again demon
strate the superiority of the Japs as
fighters.
Certainly everybody who views the
present war as senseless conflict.
everybody who permits his attitude
toward it to be affected by. humani-
tartan considerations, must hope that
victory will once more perch on the
banners of the indefatigable and re-
sourceful little brown men. No matter
what the outcome of this fight may be,
they are the moral victors in the pres
ent war. A crushing blow dealt the
Russian
Russia will be deprived of the last ex-
cuse for continuing the struggle and
this is a result devoutly to be wished
1t is claimed by the few friends she
has that one victory will restore to her
her prestige and that she will then be
willing to discuss terms of peace. IT is
much more likely that her logged reso-
luton would impel her to try for other
victories.
A decisive victory for the japanese,
on the contrary, must persuade even
such mental sluggard as Russia of
the folly Of going on with the war. If
overwhelming, it would leave the latter
without a leg to stand on. And the
outside world wants peace; peoples and
governments are alike agreed on this.
Fortunately Admiral Togo is the kind
OF naval commander who inspires con-
hdence, and since Rojestvensky has al
ready demonstrated that he's not of
the stuff out of which naval heroes are
made, it seems probable that the
wishes of the outside world will be
gratified in the coming naval battle

ROMANCE AND THE HOLSTERS

So far as Indiana is concerned the
little blind god might just as well break
up those arrows that he has reserved
for the extremely young and tender.
The state legislature before adjourn
ing this year declared itself an ally Of
the stern parent and put such a spoke
in the wheel of the post chaise that has
heretofore borne clipping couples across
the confines of the state to the Gretna
Green of their desires that even the
most romantic will think long in the
future before ordering out the vehicle.
In fact the chaise, or its modern equiv
alent, is practically useless now, for
while 1t will take Hoosier lovers to
some obliging minister across the Dor
der, they will find, when they return
for the parental blessing, that their
trip has been for nothing. Indiana will
refuse to recognize their marriage.
The passage of the bill indicates, of
course, the personnel of the Hoosier
legislature, but there is nothing in the
bill to explain the animus that was I'M
doubtedly responsible for its introduce
ton and subsequent adoption. Perhaps
half the legislative body are the faith
ers of young and romantic daughters
and the other half of youthful and i'm
questionable sons. 1t is possible that
crops have had to wait while lovers
breathed eternal vows and arranged for
the utterance of new ones. Or it may
be that a good majority in the house
and senate have lived to repent some
youthful romantic folly and that they
swore an oath to prevent, when they
had the power, others from doing like
wise.
AT any rate, whatever was the direct
cause Of the bills passage, its effect on
romance is bound to be disastrous.
Love laughs at locksmiths, it is said.
1t is apt to grow serious, however, when
1t contemplates a marriage law. And
doubtless. therefore, the legislators will
accomplish their purpose and save their
crop. or whatever it is they want to
save, through the passage of this law
But 1t is probable, too, that by so doing.
they will lose something that is more
precious than crops. Cupid cannot be
insulted time and again with impunity.
1t would not be at all surprising if he
should shake the dust of Indiana from
his feet for all time and leave that state
to its own prosy and strictly mundane
devices 1t would not be surprising if
in the near future the word romance
should become an incomprehensible
term to the Hoosiers.

CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT

What constitutes constitutional gov
eminent in Great Britain is a cues
ton Of wide latitude. Constitutionalitv
is to large extent a matter of tradi-
ton and custom, as we'll as of statute
law. From that side the government
that still retains power In England and
is planning to prolong it is absolutely
unconstitutional.
1t is a part of British theory, just as
much as If it formed a section of a
written constitution, that the govern
ment shall be conducted by the party
having majority in the house of COM
mons; that this majority shall repre-
sent majority of the qualified voters
of the country; and that, when IL

they belong. We believe that no better
policy could be adopted than the con-
centration of Democratic thought and
Democratic action upon this issue.
Moral issues in their grandeur have
always appealed to the American peo-
pie; and when thus solicited they have
always risen above commercial consid-
erations. This is at once the great
est of moral and of political issues
Upon. it depends the preservation of
individual and national character.
Upon 1T depends the salvation of our
institutions from the slime of corrup-
ton and the undisputed rule of pelf
Joseph w. Folk, down in Missouri,
demonstrated what the people would
do when appealed to. Nobody stopped
to ask what party name he bore, but
the people made him governor because
they believed that he would stamp out
the dishonesty that has so long fat
tened unhindered upon the state The
same temper exists and the same re-
suits will follow in every other state in
the union
We have, then, a complete, coherent
and logical platform for the future of
Democracy. Reversing the order of
statement, we put first the issue. Let
this be made the redemption of public
life from corruption; the Punishment
from office or consideration for office
of every man against whom there ex-
lists a reasonable suspicion; the puri-
fcation of American political life. On
this let the appeal be made to the peo-
pie, and the individual unit will re-
spond. These units all over the coun-
try would build up a strong and active
organization, interested in the small
affairs of town or county, as well as
in those of the state or nation, patriots
rather than place hunters, and bearing
the name of Democrat" upon their
crests. They will not balk or halt or
faiter or temporize with the enemy,
because their cause will be bound up
with great moral principle, subject to
no two interpretations and limited by
no confusing conditions. There will be
no opportunism then, but ringing
words of cheer and blows straight from
the shoulder for that which Democracy
represents. Let us accept this pro-
gramme, work 1t out in this way, and
we shall build for Democracy and for
the country a new fortune more glori-
Gus than the old.

ceases to be so representative, the min
istry shall resign and the appeal be
made to the country through a new
election.
This usage has been thrown to. the
winds by Mr.. Balfour He has his party
majority in parliament, secured in an
election held during the exciting times
of the South African war, when to
stand by the government was made a
test of patriotism. That majority has
ceased to be representative. By Sc
ries of dickers between Chamberlain
and Balfour peace is preserved. and
there is a loose union of free traders.
home rulers, liberals, unionists and old
fashioned conservatives which is just
sufficient to keep their party in pos
session of public place, but which
would not hold together for a moment
if practical legislation were desired.
This coalition does not represent
sentiment in the country at large, be-
cause it does not represent anything
except the anxiety to. keep in Office.
Each by-election that is held furnishes
strong proof that the people are
against the party in power and would
return a Liberal majority if an .oppor-
tunity were given. Meantime. Mr..
Chamberlain and Mr.. Balfour continue
to patch up one peace after another,
making such terms as they may to
postpone as long as possible the disso-
luton that they fear.
This, no doubt, is practical politics.
This is consonant with the disappear
ance of broad lines of demarcation and
party issues vehemently held which
characteriZes at this time both Great
Britain and the United States 1t is
not, however, constitutional govern
ment as the people of England have
more in order for the present ministry
to remain in power than for a congress
of the United States to insist upon
meeting and legislating after its life
has expired. Unless there is a greater
indifference than we expect among the
English people, this course will only
provoke greater resentment and secure
completer downfall when the inevita-
BILE appeal to the country comes.
