ally popular at home with republicans
as we'll as democrats: ambitious. as
every politician of his grade should be-
the leader of his party in a state but
| recently rescued under his leadership
| from the republicans. he undoubtedly
has claims to national democratic COLI
sideration VIII he receive it? Can his
friends bring him forward and keep him
there in the great press of the day for
delegates
1t is mentioned that Indiana has never
secured democratic presidential nomi-
nation for one of her sons. She has
several times tried. Mr.. Hendricks had
the most loyal home support in both
1876 and 1884. but in both cases had to
take second place Mr.. Tilden won over
him i'm the former year. and Mr. Cleve-
land in the latter. And once Joseph f.
Mcdonald enjoyed boom. but 1t IAN
guished befeEe convention time.
In those days Indiana was called
pivotal state. Along with New York. the
democrats had to carry it in order to
win. The democratic majority was small
and had to be fought for with energy.
This gave to the aspirations of her sons
for first place on the democratic national
ticket an importance which Indiana mace
the most Of Still. the nominations OF
Mr. Hendricks for second place twice
and that of William Fl. English Tor sec
ond place once-in 1Ss0-were the best
she could do i'm her pivotal period.
While important now. the state is not
pivotal. The democracy could win Wltn>
out her There is no purpose shown 10
neglect her. but the absence OF cnthu-
siasm about Gov. Marshall away from
home suggests that probably Indiana IS
being but little considered.
There are politicians-not all of them
India nians-of opinion that the democracy
of the state has suffered through wide
advertisement OF Thomas Taggart, who'
although a clever local manager and
good-natured man, is not reckoned away
from home as of national size and con-
sequence. AS result. democrats botn
east and south have come to appraise
their Hoosier brethren too much by the
Tagsart standard and cannot be brought to
believe easily that the party there could
produce a man of presidential proper
tons This is hard on Gov. Marshall,
who is not an adniirer himself of Mr..
Taggart, and has repeatedly opposed his
policies and maneuvers in state affairs,
and in the White House would likely
be further removed than ever from every
shade of the Taggart influence. Suli' MI.
Taggart is a force at home, and fire.
quently away from home spells Indiana
democracy.

The House and Reciprocity.

Tie House. democrats are to be con-
graduated on their decision not to pla y
nolitics with Canadian reciprocity. There
was TO reason why they should, but a
round dozen why they should not. In the
first Mace. the President had attempted
no politics with the question. and was
meClitatnG none. the suggestion that IL
he got the pact ratified promptly lie
would manipulate the situation so as 10
he able to put an end to the session was
unworthy of credit. In the second place,
the leaders of the present House ana
many OF the rank and file of the majority
were on record in favor of the pact. Ihey
had voted for it in the last House. and IN
its re-submitted form it was Identical
with its form then. Their action last
night is much to their credit
But the pact nevertheless. is by no
means out of the woods. Politics may
vet be played with 1T. The danger lies
in the Senate, where both parties are
divided on the tariff issue, and both as
vet are feeling the way cautiously. IN
the democratic party are the Ba1ieytes
and the Bryanites, and in the republican
PATTY the Cumminsites and the Lodgeltes
In the divisions much more than the
tariff is involved, and before the session
ends much more than the fate OF reci-
procity and few tariff bills proper may
he decided.
There is speculation about the probable
length of the session. Why should Con-
gross hurry? Only few state elections
take place this year. There are several
senatorial primaries scheduled, in which
several senator's and representatives are
entered as candidates, but they can make
swift trips home and take care of their
fences, returning in time for important
votes here.
No just quarrel may be picked with
those democrats who want other meas
ures than the tariff disposed of now.
Their program shows measures ripe for
action, and which should have had final
action at the short session of the last
Congress. Popular election of senators is
one, and the admission Of Arizona and
New Mexico Is another. The vote on the
former proposition was so close and so
burdened 1t practically showed agree
ment while recording rejection. Vote on
the latter was delayed by a filibuster
and q 'Jam." The matter did not come
up on its merits.
These measures, and others that may
be presented, are such as suggest pro-
tracted discussion. The Senate is full
of lawyers, and many of them are stu
dents Of the Constitution as we'll as of
everyday practical politics. They will
want to be heard, and should be. For
tunately for the country. they are men
who give so good an account of them
selves when on their feet in speaking
trim, their words are always worth the
AZ hocf0Wa6 They
ought to be in their best trim now, as not
only are the questions to their liking.
but next years stakes. which are in
mind. are the highest We hang up on
our political wire.

Gardening by Workhouse Prisoners.
From the Columbus Dispatch.

The correct idea with regard TO tbs
workhouse is gradually taking form.
Now the council has passed, under a
suspension of the rules, an ordinance
authorizing the director of safety to
employ prisoners in the cultivation of a
garden on city property near the work
house. That is not much in itself, per-
haps, but there is in il the nucleus IF a
new system of dealing with city mis-
demeanants. If the experiment proves
successful there will doubtless be more
and more of this outdoor work, and a
return for large number of the mu-
nicipal lawbreakers to the soil and the
sun and to the inspira ton of growing
things. Ultimately the factory should
be abolished, the system of contract
labor ended. and the institution be trans
ferred to the country. where the labor
of these prisoners can be employed in
producing that which is needed in the
city stables and hospitals and in repair
Ing broken-down citizenship.

Alexandria and Grade Crossings.

Alexandria has an anti-grade crossing
campaign The city of Alexandria is
growing and the population of AleXan-
dria county beyond the corporate limits
of the city and of Fairfax county con
tiguous to Alexandria is steadily in
creasing. In addition to this the traf-
ac of the railroads that pass to the west
of the city has made remarkable gains.
Alexandrians complain that for these
reasons the danger of the railroad cross
ings grows from day to day and that the
time for their elimination has come.
The intersection Of steam railroads and
city streets or densely travelled county
roads at grade has been difficult prob
lem in this country. In the older and
thickly settled countries of Europe the
question has been very generally ad-
justed. 1t is good theory that there
ought not to be any grade crossings.
There ought not to be any necessity for
such signs as Look out for the Locomo-
tive" or Danger, Stop, Look and LIS
ten," and the like. In building the rail-
roads the grade crossing was permitted.
In some cases the cost of building rail-
road and avoiding all road functions by
passing over or under the roads might
have been prohibitive. In the develop
ment of the country the railroad was SUCH
a necessary factor that the question OF
crossings at grade was not raised.
The demand for this Improvement is
based on the question of public safety
which citizens hold to be of higher con-
sideration than railroad profits. All grade
crossings are dangerous. bat the danger
is of degree 1t is of high degree when
the public street or road is greatly used
and traffic on the railroad is heavy. There
is usually room for two opinions as to the
Immediate need for the abolition OF
grade crossing. but in this matter the
people are generally right and the rail-
roads wrong.
