Ohio Senate for Initiative.

After one of the hardest contests
ever witnessed on the floor OF the
Ohio senate that body Tuesday adopt
ed the joint resolution introduced by
Senator w. l.. Atwell, Licking Coun-
ty, providing for submission to a vote
of the people next November of an
amendment to the constitution pro-
viding for the initiative and referen-
dunn in state legislation.
Tw%enty-three votes were necessary
to the adoption. and twenty-five were
cast for it. Seven Republicans joined
with the Democrats in supporting it.
The resolution provides that pc
titions fo- a popular vote upon any
measure rejected by the general as
sembly shall be signed by not less
than 10 per cent Of the qualified vot-
ers OF the state, and upon any meas
ure passed by tie general assembly
shall be not less than 5 per cent. AT
east 60 per cent of the electors must
vote upon every measure submitted,
and a majority of the votes cast at
the election is required to make the
law effective. The legislature may re-
peal and the courts may review any
measure ratified by the people. but
the governor cannot veto it.

The Ghost Appears.

The fellow who will partake of an
others hospitality, and thereafter
speak disparaginly of the service pro-
vided by the host, certainly has dwarf
ed notions as to the commonest OF
courtesies. We have known people
partially demented who have more
sense-Independable.
Ordinarily this is true but a man OF
Metsker's type who gets young ladies
to work early and late in an effort to
capture a prize, and who the day be-
fore the stuffed ballot box is opened
offers TO sell their honest-earned prize
to the highest bidder. and then gives
them a slice of bacon and a few army
beans to soothe their broken hearts.
certainly deserves any criticism these
young ladies might bestow on this
arch CRATER and all around bunco-
s%teerer.

GOES TO FIT WAYNE HOSPITAL
Thomas Sloan, Who Was Injured at
Bourbon Last Summer, to I'm
dergo Operation.

Thomas Sloan, who was injured by
being struck by a Pennsylvania fast
train at Bourbon last fall, while
awaiting the arrival of another train
to return to Warsaw, after attending
the Bourbon fair, is in Fort Wayne,
where he will undergo an operation.
Since the accident his left arm, which
was fractured has given his consid-
cradle trouble. He has been able to
lift the member, but not above his
shoulder. He has had no trouble in
using his fingers and hand, but an X
ray examination has developed the
fact that the bones of the arm have
never healed together. 1t was for
the purpose of wiring the bones to-
gether that he was taken TO Fort
Wayne. Through his attorneys Mr..
Sloan two months ago made a settle
ment with the Pennsylvania railroad
company. 1t will be recalled that
two other persons, Mr.. Rodibaugh,
of Milford, and Mr.. Mills, of Ply
mouth, were injured at the same time
Mr.. Sloan received his injuries

The Pendulum Swings Back.

A few weeks ago much account
was taken of the army of immigrants
returning to the continent. Steam
ships were reported loaded to shcir
capacity. Those who sought passage
sometimes had TO wait for lace
There was talk of this exodus as :,
certain indication of the hard ,imes
in America. The wise declared il
was nothing but a slightly exagger-
ated illustration of what happens
every year. They called attention tc
the regular habit of people of some
race str aims who spend their winters
in the sunny climes of Europe, but
return to the United States to work
during the rest of the year.
A dispatch from Rome tells of the
crowding of the steamers in the prin.
cipal Italian ports with persons
bound for America. AT least 5000
will take passage before January
closes. The pendulum has begun tc
swing back, and the thousands who
have been ENJOYING a visit home anC
the cheaper life in Italy will all BIZ
back ready for work when the spring
opens.

Tells Why Boni Hit Helie.

The Sagan Castellane case came up
in the correctional court at Paris,
Tuesday, having been adjourned from
AN. IA. Count Boni and Count Jean
de Castellane, his brother are charged
with assault by Prince Helie de Sagan
early in January.
Answering a question put by the
court, Count Boni declared that he
could explain clearly the motives of
his animosity toward Prince Helie by
certain documents which he intended
to hand over to the court, but that
the intimate character of these papers
prevented their being made public.
At this statement Prince Helie in
terruped by crying in a loud voice:
These documents are forgeries."
Counsel for the court declared that
if his client had accepted the judg-
ment of divorce from Madame Gould
it was because he recognized he had
| wronged the wife whom he still re-
spected. Count Boni had o been
able to restrain his indignation and
anger when he heard that the Prince
de Sagan was going to become the
| husband of the mother of his (the
count's) children. He was convinced
| that Prince Helie could not be ever
a good godfather to his children.
Count Jean de Castellane was dis
charged, and judgment in the case OF
Count Boni will be handed down lat

Thaw Fears rawlings Will Drive Him
Crazy.

Harry Thaw has made another I'M
perative demand upon his attorneys
to obtain his immediate release from
the State asylum for the criminal in
sane at Matteawan. AS a consequence
a writ may be sought within the next
few days by attorneys O'Reilly and
Peabody OF a Supreme Court justice
in Duchess county, probably in
Poughkeepsie, seeking to have Justice
Dowling's commitment amended to
remove Thaw to a private institution
Martin w. Littleton, for profess
sional reasons, as we'll as because he
wants a rest, is unwilling to take i'm
mediate steps for Thaw's release. He
thinks Thaw ough to stay IN the asy-
lum for at least two months. If i'm
mediate steps are taken to obtain
Thaw's transfer from there, Littleton
probably will not be a party to the
action.
Thaw's demand for release or a
transfer to a private institution is
based on a belief that if he remains
there for even a month he will be-
come insane in fact, if he is not al
ready. The antics of the ffty-eight
mad men associated in the same ward
| with him got on 1haw's nerves. De
claring he was in full possession {
his mental faculties Thaw told his
lawyers that he would be a fit subject
to remain in the asylum if he listened
to the rawlings of the other inmates
for even a few weeks.

How Relief Must Come.

The relief of the country from the
dire results of the panic will not
come from currency legislation. The
time for that has passed. The emer-
gency was met by the great financial
Institutions, and all the currency
needed for liquidation was provided
with such security as met all require
ments of safety. The currency phase
was passed safely. Now the relief
must come from economical manage
nent, judicious production, restoring
OF confidence. movements of neces-
sites, gradual resumption of the use
of comforts and Injuries, and a slow
return to cautious enterprise. All the
legislation that congress could pass
at this session could not help present
troubles, and might do them INJURY.
II out of it all has grown evidence OF
need of elastic currency, and larger
provision for larger business, let 1t
be supplied cautiously and with plen-
ty OF deliberation backed by expert
ence.-Elkhart Review.

Kokomo News and Dispatch Con-
solidated.

Announcement was made Tuesday
of the consolidation Of the Daily
News and the Daily Dispatch of Ko-
komo. Plans have been hanging fire
for the last two months, but were on
ly brought to a head at a conference
of the owners of the two papers Mon
day night. The News will continue
to be published in the morning,
while the Dispatch will be issued as
an afternoon paper. There will be nc
hyphenated name.
The News has been printed as an
independent Republican paper for the
las fifteen years, during which time
it was owned by George F. McCul-
Tough. Two years ago the property
passed to the ownership of a corpora
ton headed by c. r. Trowbridge, OF
Indianapolis, and lately Mr.. Trow-
bridge secured full control of the
property. The Dispatch was owned
by ]. O. and H. f. Henderson.
The name of the new company will
be the Dispatch Publishing Company
The plants will be united, making one
of the largest in central Indiana. The
move was made more for economy's
sake than anything else, and the adj
ditional fact that three papers made
an overcrowded field for a town the
size of Kokomo. The two papers
will be Democratic. H. ]. Mellette,
managing editor of the News, will re-
main in that capacity with the ON
solidated papers.

Gold Loot of Robbery in 1880, is Re-
covered.

Supt. Patterson of the Pacific Elk
press company returned to Omaha
from Sidney, Neb., Thursday, bring
ing with him two large bricks of bull
lion, believed to represent part OF the
loot of a robbery of the company's
Office in Sidney Neb., in March, 1880.
The metal was found buried in the
debris of a saloon which burned two
weeks ago. The robbery was the bold
est of its kind ever committed in the
west, and the bullion which had been
received that day by stage from the
Black Hills was valued at $127, 900.
One of the bricks was sold to the
Denver mint a year after the robbery.
Sheriff Mccarthy, who then owned
the saloon which burned recently was
Der band, but the express company
was unable to obain his Indictment.
His brother was later hanged by Wig
~ilantes. Mccarthy has been dead sew
eral years. Supt. Patterson is trying
to establish identification of the met
al. He says the bullion value is in
definite, but he will have it assayed at
once. Mr.. Patterson said:
Some of the bricks which the ex-
press company carried in the early
days were not worth more than 3d.
600, as gold was not refined in the
Black Hills in 1880, as 1T is today. If
the bricks are found to contain gold
which has been refined, on the aver
age. they probably are worth $4,000
each. | do not feel | could pass on

Thinks King an Undesirable

A dramatic incident marked the
saunte OF King Alfonso through the
streets of Seville the day before the
tragedy at Lisbon, Alfonso being at
tackled by a policeman, whose object
was to keep back the crowd from the
king, but who unfortunately mistook
the king himself for a suspicious look
ing person.
The governor OF Seville, who was
following just behind the king, seized
the policeman, and a score of spec
tators, believing an attempt was be-
ing made to assassinate the king,
knocked down the policeman
Alfonso, however, ordered his lib
Grafton and was highly amused at the
whole affair.

When Emigration is Harmful.

1t would be interesting to hear
from representative Bulgarians in the
United States on the question of the
alleged failure" of our immigration
from their native land. There is,
however, muchs inherent probability
in the gloomy views expressed by Ed
itor Daskaloff, the Bulgarian commits
sioner who has just completed a
study of the condition and prospects
of his countrymen here.
Men who emigrate under the influ-
ence OF glowing" advertisements,
who expect to get rich quickly, who
do not learn the language of their
new country and who live in isolated,
unassimilated Colonies" are not un-
likely to find their last state worse
than their first. 1t may well be that
thousands of Bulgarians who had
their own acres to cultivate and lived
in relative comfort are actually lead
ing less desirable lives in this country.
The emigration which is the result
of economic necessity, or of political
danger and chaos, or of racial perse-
c%ution, is one thing. Emigration arti-
fically and not too scrupously "stim-
ulated," emigration lightly decided
upon, may be a very different thing.
1t should be observed, however,
that Bulgarian immigrants are in nc
sense a law unto themselves in this
country. There are others who fail
| to adapt themselves to American con
ditions and remain far too long in
overcrowded colonies" The ques-
ton Of material Improvement de-
ponds manifestly on a number of fact
ors. While the Italian, Greek and
Spanish governments have shown
concern over emigration, largely on
account of military considerations
there is little reason to doubt that
the great majority of the immigrants
| from those countries better them
selves. Their remittances, their saw
| ings here and in home institutions
| their letters to relatives and friends
and their freqsent trips to the OLD
world furnish ample proof of this.
We have. however passed the stage
when immigration needed to be "stim.
| ulated" by alluring and misleading ad-
vertisements. We shall not resent
European restriction of emigration
