The Big Four railroad company
has been charged with negligence in
connenction with the Fowler wreck
Charles s ,Sremley, coroner..:o of
Benton county, has returned his find
ing in the case, which is to the effect
that the assistant train dispatcher
the conductor and the engineer of
the freight train and the head officials
and management Of the railroad com.
pany were guilty of gross negligence
Hesalso finds that the engineer Of the
Inflated passenger train was running
at reckless speed when the accident
happened The. coroner seems to
have made a thorough investigation
and to have reported his findings
clearly and courageously. The public
however, will, be interested in observ.
ing whether or not the coroner's re
port will end eli talk of the Fowler
disaster, >or whether the inquiry will
go further. 1t would seem that thu
charges offer an Opportunity 70
something definite in the way OF re
suits.

Hunters Up in Arms.

Steps will be taken this week to
perfect the organization of clubs OF
sportsmen in Lake and Porter com-
ties to secure legislation that will
preserve the Kankakee country from
threatened invasion by Chicago clubs
which are acquiring ieases on thous-
ands of acres of land along the Kan
kakee river for hunting grounds.
1t is said that leases have been Sc
cured on 10000 acres of land. The
activity OF Chicago sportsmen has
aroused feeling of bitter antagon-
ism in the Indiana counties. 1t is
feared that the pre-emption of hunt
ing grounds will lead to feuds and a
repetition of the Tolleston Cluf
troubles in which several men were
killed.

Congressional Review.

More money has been appropriated
during the short session of the 59th
congress which passed into history
at noon Monday than during any pre-.
vious session. The amount, as near
as can be estimated, approximates a
billion dollars.
Two big battleships were author
lied for the navy and the artillery
corps of the army was reorganzled
and enlarged. A general service pen
sion was granted to veterans OF the
Mexican and civil wars, and like pro-
visions were made for army nurses
For river and harbor improvements
the appropriation aggregated $685.
100000 Increased salaries were Civ
en- to cabinet ministers, the vice pres
ident and senators, the speaker OF
the house of representatives and its
members, to ambassadors, ministers
and consuls; TO postoffice clerks and
letter carriers.
The public made more inquiries for
information from the document
rooms of congress regarding the ship
subsidy bill, the currency measure and
the bill regulating the hours OF ser
vice of railway employees than any
other pending legislation. Ship sub
sidy died hard IN the last hours, The
other two measures became laws as
the session closed
The immigration bill, one of the
measures brought over from the long
session, was completed under the
spur of the president that he might
meet the California-Japanese situa
ton by giving the administration
control of coolie importation through
passports. The bill further restricts
the admission of aliens to this coun-
try.
A bill was passed for the establish
ment of an agricultural bank in the

The free alcohol law of last session

Sweeping Before Our Own Doors.

a philosophical contributor to the
columns OF an eastern paper consid-
erately declares that no fault can be
found with those humane persons
who constantly and earnestly urge
the government of the United States
to use its good offices for the amel-
ioration of the condition of the nat
ives in the Congo Free State and to
sotp the atrocities perpretrated there
by the hirelings of King Leopold
Those atrocities, even though not
quite as bad as pictured, are a shame
and a disgrace to all Christendom,
and some actions should perhaps be
taken by the United States-provided
this could be done according TO laws
and treaties, and without giving Of
Tense to friendly nation. The Unit
ed States cannot assume the role OF
international policeman.
But there are conditions in the
United States that should have the
more immediate attention of its PEG
pie, and are receiving comparatively
little. Annually many thousands of
persons are killed and injured on
American railways. Slaughter by rail
way companies overshadows every
thing in the Congo, and very little is
done to better the conditions here
The killing and the manning go on
and the number of victims increases
annually.
The number of persons killed in
mines, in works of construction and
mills is too great 1t is alleged that
many fatal accidents are due to Grim
inal carelessness on the part of en-
ployers and a great huDbub was rails

ri6ce of life in the New York tunnel
construction, but with the exception
of some pounding on log" not
much has been done.

Finally, there are ten to twelve
thousand homicides in this country
annually, and lynchings are undimin

United States. There is always plenty
of work at home for willing hands to
do. Obviously, the lesson this unex
aggerated recital of American blem-
ishes and shortcomings teaches is
that we should abandon the foolish
notion that it devolves upon us as a
nation TO attempt to cure the ills of
all peoples on earth-ul Instead. we
should settle down TO the conclusion
that the proper course for us to pur4
sue is to sweep before our own doors
and put our premises in condition
for which no apology to the world

leaving for Delaware. Ohio, that he
was glad to get out of the town. He
says that Kokomo has been what is
known as a wide-open town and he
would hardly call town closed tina
still permitted the operation of Sun

more that when a city of $4,000 or
10000 inhabitants has membership
of only 5000 or 1000 in its churches
it shows thai the spiritual life of the
community is on the decline; that it

Stationery and Advertising.

The following is the amount paid
by Marshall and adjoining counties
for advertising, blank books, blanks
and Office stationery for the year
1905:
Marshall S1617.14
st. Joseph 27S5.5S
Starke ............... 2993.S 81
PuldSM ............... zoof5@
Thus it will be seen that Starke
county spent $2OS.29 more for station
cry, blank books ETC. than did St Jo-
seph, while the latter county is more
than five times as large as Starke Pull
ask county spent S1O1.74 more than
St. Joseph and the county is only a
trifie larger than Starke
In Starke county the Hon. John l..
Moorman is the editor of the Repub-
lican newspaper and in Pulaski the
distinguished Carl W. Riddick edits
and publishes the Republican news
paper
In Marshall county the advertising
and stationery costs S1316.73 less
than Pulaski This saving of over
100000 is due to the untiring. efforts
of the Tribune in preventing graft by
the publishers of the other newspap-
ers. The above figures were taken
from the statistical report of Indiana
