WHY RETAIN DANIELS7
NOT THE WAY FOR WILSON TO
DESERVE SUPPORT.
Secretary Of the Navy Is Known by
Every intelligent Person TO Be
Unfit for His Post.

President Wilson keeps at the head
of the navy Of the United States In
this critical hour a man who is known
by every intelligent person to he UNI
ft for his post. To the world at large
Josephus Daniels is joke and to the
navy itself he is a crime.
The nation owes to the president its
confidence and support, and to Its own
perpetuity it owes compliance with his
request. But there is on his part q
corresponding and reciprocative debt
to treat the nation as squarely as it
treats him. He owes it the selection
Of the best men he can get for his
trusted advisers. He owes ii the Wis
est and coolest heads at his command
so that their confidence may not be
misplaced or betrayed.
We suppose that so long as Daniels
continues 20 sound the presidents
praises, he can handicap the efficiency
Of the navy as Bryan did the state de-
partment. There will be a fight for
the Graysons and contumely for the
Garrisons. This is not the way to de-
serve the support the president 50
lightly asks and the nation so ungrudg-
ingly accords.-- indianapolis Star.

TWENTY-FIVE TO FIFTY
DIE IN INDIANA STORM
Property Loss Estimated at 100000
New Albany Suffers Most
From Tornado.

New Albany, Ind, March 26.-Be-
were killed and probably 100 or more
were injured by a storm which on Fri
day swept over New Albany, denIOlish-
ing scores Of residences and several
industrial plants. A school building
was wrecked. The property damage
is estimated at S2O00,000.
Twenty-Five bodies are known TO
have been recovered, and it is ex-
pected this number will be materially
Increased when all the debris Of
wrecked buildings have been cleared
away.
The lighting system for the resi-
dence section Of the city was put out
Of commission by the storm and the
work Of rescue is proceeding slowly
and with difficulty.
In addition to the bodies taken 10
undertaking establishments, there
were reports of others that we're taken
90 private homes.
Carlisle. Ind, March 26-Two per-
sons We're killed, three seriously hurt
when a tornado devastated a thickly
populated farming district south of
Carlisle late Friday. The storm swept
district eight miles long and one
bali mile wide. Wesley Hints was
killed when his home was wrecked
and a son, four years old, was prob
ably fatally hurt. Mrs. William Nor
ris died of her injuries. The property
damage is estimated at 100000.

Bio Price but Good Islands.

The Danish West Indies are now I'M
der the Stars and Stripes. The Demo
cratic administration paid $25,000,000
for these islands, on which the last Re
publican congress set value of one
fifth of that amount. This gives rise
TO two reflections: first, the extrava-
gance Of the modern Democrat, and
second, the hope that the deal will be
better for all concerned-better for
Denmark, which gets such a good price
for her possessions; better for the is
landers, who will be part of the
American nation, and better for Amer
lea, who thus safeguards her coast
from attack from abroad.

How Deficits Are Made.

The condition of the United States
treasury at the close of business on
February 8, was:
Net balance in general
Iund ............. SSI ,ooZ, zoo
Total ordinary payments. 3,499,53S
Total ordinary receipts. 1885, 167
The deficit this fiscal year is S144,
993,539. against a deficit of $52.650,372
year ago.
Where payments are chemically
larger than receipts. the deficit is, Of
course, bound to prosper like weeds in
the neglected cornfield. 1t takes
great deal of ingenuity to devise taxes
which can reverse matters so that in
come is to outcome in the ratio of three
to one where it has been one TO three,
and doubt may be entertained that the
thing Is possible.
This treasury report illustrates the
contention of the congressman who
recently told his fellows that Repub-
lican policy had always been to take
less from Uncle Sans strong box than
came to it while Democratic principle
commanded that more should be taken
out than was received.-ToledO Blade.

appropriations for preparedness on the

An un.Ameriean System.

The American system of ptotect ON
of sugar allows the price of sugar to
be based on the import price of the
raw material. In that manner all
sugar pays the duty, although only
part passes the customhouse. The I'M
American system Of taxing sugar puts
a consumption tax on all domestic su-
gar to balance the customs. In that
manner the treasury gets all the tax
instead of half of it. Where the half
Of the tax goes which the treasury does
not get sufficiently appears from the
swollen pro1its of the domestic pro-
ducers.

Nav KIN Shipping Commission,

The shipping commission is one of
the pets Of the administration against
which the Republicans will array them
selves, and while they admit they can
not repeal the law creating the COM
mission, they hope to find some way to
stop the commission from going ahead
and involving the country In a great
ocean shipping ownership. AS appropri-
alton bills must not only originate in
the house, but must receive its concur
renee. they say that they can cut it's
throat by refusing to make appropri.
atoms for its continuance.
