THE FRANKLIN UNION.

One hundred and eighteen years ago
Benjamin Franklin left the sum of five
thousand dollars to the city Of Phila,
delphia to found an industrial school
The building has been lately opened
which was paid for by the principal
and the interest of the fund left by
Poor Richard" then better known as
"the celebrated DR.. Franklin"
After hundred years the fund, Of
five thousand dollars has reached
about one-third of a million dollars
(Which Is a commentary on the invest
ment of the money! The trustees o,
the fund took the pains to interest
Mr. Carnegie in the enterprise with
the result that he contributes ar
amount equal to the sum on hand
with which to furnish an income fol
the Franklin Union.
The purpose of the school will be tt
encourage industrial training alons
the line of the Cooper Union in New
York City. Practical men will be tn,
instructors and particular emphasis
will be the advancement of men in ;
trade which is already theirs. Their,
will not be long lectures on the the
DRY of the trade but there will be act
ual instruction in shop work ..-..
The decay of the system of appren
ticeship in modern Industrial life hai
left gap which it is hard to fill ant
which can only be filled by the meth

schools in this country along the line

The story of the rise of the printer

the possibilities of his bequest are

most practical philosophers.

INSECTS AND DISEASE.

One Of the most remarkable Of the
discoveries of medical experts has
been the relation between insects and
disease. First came the mosquito.
Then the fly. and now comes the flea.
Altogether it has been another proof
of that very old and equally trite
saying: Its the little things in this
world that count"
The mosquito was found to be the
great germ carrier OF malaria and
yellow fever germs. The fly was
found to be a dissemination of typhoid,
tuberculosis, diphtheria and other bac-
terra. But to the rat and the flea is
now given the palm as the carrier OF
the plague germs-the most deadly
and insiduous of all. .....
1t is greatly to the credit OF the Unit
ed States that the Marine Hospital
and United States Public Health
Corpse have traced the disease to its
lair and are now waging war on 1t in
San Francisco.
This is the same plague of biblical
times-the plague which Livy men
lions that carried off whole tribes and
people and the horrible plague Of Lon
don in the seventeenth century. This
is the plague which has attacked Ma
nila, Seattle. San Francisco since it's
start in 1894 in celestial China.
The plague is no discrimination OF
persons, PAGES or climates. Human
beings may get 1t in three ways. BY
inhalations of dried excretions of
plague victims. by eating contaminat.
ed food, and third by the bite Of the
rat-fiea or even the flea blood crush
ed against human skin. - ,-..
Hence the problem which San Fran
cisco has now is to get rid Of the
fleas and rats.
This has necessitated vast sums OF

INDIANA, THE DOUBTFUL.

1t is often said of Indiana, that ey-
cry man in its borders is either a pol
itieian or an orator. At the same
time, it is well known that when
Chairman Hitchcock asked how many
of the states had political organiza-
tons worthy of the name, he was told
"One-Indiana."
And in the final analysis all this
means what everybody has known for
years, that Indiana is doubtful state.
There would be little need other than
the last election to prove this. But
those who remember the stirring days
of the early sixties and the late fiji
ties and the terrific dual which went
on when the state seemed on the
verge Of joining the South, must con-
cede that the state inherited it's doubt
full proclivities naturally.
After the war things settled back
for time until 1876, when it went
democratic by five thousand, only to
break out again in 1884 with differ
ence of only six thousand votes for
the presidency and in 1888 a differ
ence of only two thousand. 1t was
democratic in 1884 and republican in
1888. Four years later it switched
democratic again, with a plurality OF
seven thousand. Since then it has
been counted by forgetful persons as a
republican state.
But look at the blamed thing now
A republican president, one republi-
can senator-a democrat about to be
selected, democratic governor with
variegated state ticket depending on
the official count and wrecked re-
publican list of congressman.
And call it safe! .-.--
Just as safe as faro game.
What means all this?
1t simply indicates that Indianians
are of such diverse sorts that no de,
pendence can be placed on them to
vote a given way. There has been a
solid democratic backbone in the state
since before the war and little
stronger. republican population. Be.
tween these two extremes lies the
floating vote which is to large ex
tent made up of the class of people
who are the reading public.
It has been fashionable in politica
circles to be an Independent voter il
Indiana longer than in any other state
in the union. Even from the days Of
the "mugwumps," it has been so.
That is the reason why both the
democratic and republican party la,
such store on their poll books and tina
accounts for the order Of Hitchcock
| to the other states-go and do like
wise. Politics never reaches such (
fever heat in other states as in Indi
| ana. Can any one imagine Pennsyl
vania calmly turning up republican
majority year after year and gettin,
excited about it?
Can 1t be that Indiana coquets ii
this tickle manner for the attention
which must be given her? 1t woul,
seem so.

1t is supposed that crawfish and

WHERE A CHANGE
IS UNNECESSARY.

No matter what the arguments IN
favor of a change in several of the
county Offices. no one has yet been
heard TO express the opinion that the
present tax collector, J. S. Roberts,
should be succeeded by the former, A.
H. D'Alemberte, who is his only OPP
ponent for the position. Mr. Roberts
has made an enviable record while in
Office and il seems to be the general
impression that he should continue the
work he has so ably performed in the
past. The many friends of Joe Rob
erts, both in the city and throughout
the county feel assured that he will
be renOminated at the primary on
May 19, and are working diligently 20
