Indiana Shocks the Moral Sense Of
Europe.

. No measure to prevent procrea-
tion of the humanity unfit could be
more drastic or more anti-ethicaI, q
says the London Lancet, than the
newly enacted statute framed by the
Legislature of Indiana. The pream-
bic to the new law is scientific
enough. Whereas Il it reads, ''her-
edity plays a most important part in
the transmission of crime, idiocy and
imhecility. The enacting clause of
the law provides that two skilled sur
geons of recognized ability shall ex-
anime the confirmed criminals, i'd
lots, inbeciles and perpetrators OF
crimes of violence against women.
II, in the judgment of the experts
and the board of managers, sprocre-
alton is unadyisable and there is no
probability of improvement of the
mental condition, it shall be incum-
bent upon the experts to perform
such a surgical operation as will an
swer the purpose of the new law.
@But this operation shall not be per-
formed except in cases that have been
pronounced unianproyable. J" In no
case shall the consultation fee be
more than three dollars for each ex-
pert. To the London Lancet this
piece OF legislation is worthy Of the
greatest amount OF attention, for Il
is fraught with grave peril Current

Mr.. Carey said that he had cabled
to Paris, the headquarters of the In
ternational Sleeping Car company, and
also to Vladivostok to reserve a spe-
cial car for the use of Secretary Taft
and his family.
The party will leave yladivostok on
Tuesday, Nov. -, by special train de
luxe, which Is considered superior to
the Russian state trains which run on
other days in the week. The train
will be made up of a diner, observa-
ton car and three sleepers which have
seven two berth compartments and
one three berth room, all opening off
corridor at the side Of the car.
Each compartment Of the car which
viii be used by Secretary Taft" said
Mr.. Carey, contains table, chair,
reading lamp and lavatory. H. B.
Darnell, our general agent In the far
east, will accompany the train from
Vladivostok to Moscow and see that
the secretary's party has every atten-
ton. The only stop during the long
ten days ride will be at Irkutsk, the
finest city In Siberia, which is situated
forty miles from the southern extrem-
ity Of Lake Baikal and 1886 miles by
rail from Moscow. s.y IS
The schedule Of the Transsiberian
railroad allows only two hours at Ir-
kutsk for changing trains, but If Mr..
Taft wishes to stop of and see some
thing Of Siberia his car can be side
tracked and attached to the next train.
1t will be quite cold in Irkutsk at the
end Of November, but the Russian h0-
tells are well heated, and the climate
Of Siberia is very healthy Irkutsk is
the center of the Russo Chinese tea
trade, the capital of the governor gen
eralship for eastern Siberia, and has a
population Of 10000. including 5000
exiles
"The scenery along the Transsibe-
| rian railroad is very wild and inter
esting. It changes continually from
rivers to lakes and mountains inter
spersed with rugged gorges and wa
! terfalls. At the railroad stations the
picturesque Cossack soldiers can be

RELATIONS WITH
U. S. TO BE CLOSER
Ii Plan of American Educated
Cantonese Works Out
Fostering Strength in Manchu by
nasty To Block Japan and
Germany.
SIR cHENTUNG LANG CHENG

Washington, June A. Leading
progressive Cantonese statesmen,
who have been modernized by educa-
ton in the principal universities OF
the United States, and within recent
months elevated to a stage of power
full influence with the Manchu dy-
nasty, are carefully and secretly car
rying out their well-laid plans to OBJ
tain a tighter hold upon Manchuria.
They plan TO be able TO offer strong
resistance against further foreign az
grandizement of territory on the part
of Germany, Japan or any other
country. and TO develop closer and
more sympathetic relations with the
United States. This has developed as
the real significance of the important
promotion of Sir Chentung Liang
Cheng, minister to Washington.
The promotion of Sir Chetung
hinges directly upon the re-entering
of Manchuria by the Chinese govern
ment upon the complete evacuation
of that territory by both the Russian
and Japanese armies. Sir Chentung is
to be made junior vice-president of
Wal WI Pu, which is next to that of
foreign minister, and is really a high
assistant secretary of state, with du-
ties of president of the board of for
eign affairs and comptroller general
of maritime customs.
He will be succeeded as minister to
Washington by LANG Tun Yen, who
is customs taotai at Tientsin, which
Office is next to that of viceroy.
Sir Chentung succeeded WI Ting
Fang as minister at Washington four
years ago next June The policy Of
China has been not to station a min
lister in any country longer than
three years. Three years ago the in
ternal situation was a delicate one
at that time, as a result of the boy
colt against American goods, and Sir
Chentung was asked to break prece-
dent and remain Indefinitely. Last
fall the minister's mother died, and
according to the custom of his coun-
try he should have rendered his res
ignation and gone into private life for
three years. His resignation was ten
dered. but 1t was declined.
This is only the fourth or fifth in
stance in a period of over 400 years
when diplomatic or other high Of
fetal mas been promoted when in a
period of mourning.

among her customers many of the
great ladies' of Paris. Through some
of them old Queen Isabella was made
aware of the existence. of the two
boys, and also of their dependence
upon the charity Of the lace member.
She at once interested herself in their
behalf, and likewise induced her
daughter-in-law, Queen Christina, ia
do something for the children.
Queen Christina Pays for Silence.
Christina, in spite of the fact that
she had always bitterly resented her
husbands infdelities, consented to
deposit a sum of 100000 for them
in the hands of Partisan banker on
the understanding that the latter was
to pay them the annual interest OF
the amount at the rate of per cent
per annum as long as they abstained
from revealing their parentage. They
observed this stipulation until the
banker became involved in difficulties
and for a time was unable to pay
them their allowance.
Instead of waiting or else applying
10 Queen Christina through the Span
ish ambassador they placed their
AFFAIRS In the hands of a Partisan law
yer, who proceeded to bring suit
against the banker. The lower courts
directed the banker to pay the entire
capital into the hands Of trustees ap-
pointed by the tribunal. The banker
appealed on the ground that the
young men, by disclosing their rela-
tionship to the late king, had violated
the agreement, and thus relieved
both himself and Queen Christina
from any further pecuniary obliga-
ton towards them. This view was
confirmed on appeal. and It was on
this account that the young men de-
cided to bring suit In Spain.

TAR1FF NOT AN ISSUE

William Jennings Bryan has been
in politics long enough to know an
issue when he sees It, and Mr.. Bry-
an knows that the tariff is not a ma
tional issue. That is why Mr.. Bryan
is trying out" so many other ques-
tons on the public. The pro-
tective tariff is no longer
mere principle of the Re-
publican party. II is recognized as
an American policy. II became such
when the Democrats, in control of
the congress, with representatives
elected on a free trade platform, were
afraid to follow their president to the
extreme limit of the doctrine. Did
not other questions always obtrude In
the far south. the Democratic party
could not carry a single state in the
union on the simple issue of free
trade.
If there is a question of the OK
pediency of revising the present Ding
ley tariff rates among the people
that does not asperse the whole prin-
ciple of protection. James A. Garfield
and James c. Blaine, possibly the
greatest opponents Of the principle Of
protective tariff that ever lived. were
in favor of adjustable sched-
ules It Is proof of the adaptablity of
the idea that, as times and conditions
change, the schedules may be chang
ed TO suit them. Yet Democratic
press and speakers with palpabie dis
honesty discuss revision a If It were
a term interchangeable with abol-
ton. Was a congress, elected to re-
wise the Dingley rate. to abolish the
protective tariff, It would be as un-
warranted as if the commission ap-
pointed to revise charters Of second
class cities should go ahead and
abolish the municipalities.
Secretary Taft said: 81 am tariff
reyisionist," and the Democratic
press exclaims with astonishment.
The American Manufacturers assoc
citation declared in favor Of tariff re-
vision, and the esteemed Courier
Journal said:
When the most powerful or
ganizatiOn of manufacturers in
the United States turns against
the device invented. ostensibly,
to protect American manufac-
turers the hypocrisy of the
protectionists is exposed If
these business men did not con-
slider the instrument antagonis-
tic TO American business inter-
ests, Is 1t reasonable 20 suppose
they would oppose n?
If the "most powerful organization
OF manufacturers in the United
states" considered "the Instrument
antagonistic to American business in
teresls" why didn't they come out in
favor of free trade? Fifty-ilve per-
cent Of them favored immediate re-
vision, twenty per cent favored
''hands OFF,; eight per cent thought
the time not ripe for revision. and
seventeen per cent were Indifferent.
That accounts for the hundred per
cent, as we figure It, and not the
smallest mlcroscopical fragment.
even IN the mos subtle fashion, sug-
gested free trade. rhe idea never oc-
Cured TO one OF them. It was never
mentioned. or the Courier-Journal
would have noticed It.
An. no. Mahse Henry, you can't

Yet. here is another Democratic ut-l
terance that indicates the anomalous,
attitude Of the national party toward
