He has freed all the slaves In that turbulent island. When General Rey. the Colombian en-To- y, la at home he Is a scientist, an ex- plorer and in many ways a useful citizen. That is another good reason why he should have stopped at home. Denmark and Austria-Hungar- y are the latest nations to recognize the independence of Panama. Great Britain, the Springfield Republican and the New York Evening Poat are about the only powers yet to be heard from. President Roosevelt has been made an as- sociate member of the Travelers' Protective Association. He has traveled around this country almost enough to entitle him to a foil membership and also to the 25,000 votes which the order controls. The warships of both Japan and Russia hare been painted black the war color. Both countries announce ihat "the outlook Is distinctly hopeful." They are evidently following the Roosevelt doctrine of "speak- ing soft and carrying a big stielt." The 1,782 national banks which have been organised since March. 1900. have a com- bined capital of flO4.00O.0iJ0. It must be re- membered that this capital la cash not a drop of moisture. This is almost the only class of corporations of which that can be said. Germany's ruffled feelings can only be soothed by an official denial from General MacArthur of the war talk recently attrib- uted to him. He will doubtless be given the opportunity to make such a denial. He has already told the m WFpapers that the report was false. The Nobel prize for physics, valued at ftOjOOO, has been awarded to M. and Mme. Curie, of Paris. The award should settle the question as to who discovered radium. The money will doubtless be welcome, as this remarkable pair of scientists have re- ceived no returns from their discovery, A Springfield (Mass.) brewery company pent a check for $25 to the local Democratic committee. The check was returned with a note stating that the contribution was "in- adequate and grossly insulting." If the Massachusetts Democrats are to be insult- ed the insults must be made large enough to be tolerated. The prediction made by Carroll D. Wright, tlnited States commissioner of labor, that ths wage system will pass away aad be Succeeded by profit-sharin- g and on, represents an optimistic view. Mr. Wright has made a life-lon- g study of labor questions, and Is a friend of labor without being visionary. The establishment of profit-sharin- g and for the wage system would probably be a great gain for labor and for society at large, but It presupposes an altruistic and concilia- - tefy feeling on both sides that seems very remote. Nevertheless, it may be that we are gradually, though imperceptibly, ap- proaching the desired consummation. 111 mm mm - The recent report of the secretary of the treasury contains a list of forty-fiv- e ports Of entry at which customs expenses exceed receipts. At every one of these ports it gopts more than a dollar to collect a dol- lar. At several of the ports tne cost of collecting each dollar exceeded $20, at five ports it exceeded $HW. at three it exceeded ZO0. aad at Galena. 111.. It coet $378 to col- lect seventy cents. All such ports of entry Should, of course, be abolished. Indianap- olis makes a good showing for a far inland sort of entry. The total number of en- tries of imported goods at this point dur- ing the year waa 715. and the duties col- lected amounted to flf,6H at a cost of fli,-06- 4. Readers of the Journal are probably aware that entries at inland ports are made hy shipments of goods in bond, by railway. State Chairman O'Brien thinks the Demo- cratic nominee for President should be "the aaan who can carry the Eastern States that are normally Democratic New York, New Jersey and Consectlcut. ' It be Interesting to know why Mr. O'Brien calls these states normally Democratic. Since the Republican party was farmed the Re- publicans have carried Connecticut In eight different presidential elections, and the Democrats have carried It in three; the Republicans have carried New Tork In SSVen presidential elections, and the Dem erata In four, and iho Republicans have carried New Jersey In four elections, and the Democrats in seven. The electoral votes in these States show that New York and Connecticut are normally Republican, and the popular vote shows it tili more conclusively. The only normally Demo- cratic states are south of Mason and Dixon's line. AX ADVANCE AliKST OF HEPI BLICAN VICTORY. If current reports are true the Repub- licans of Indiana are to be congratulated on a coming piece of good fortune. It Is said that William J. Bryan will soon enter the State to make a series of speeches In favor of Democratic harmony on a free silver basis, and such other political vaga- ries as he may have evolved recently. At last accounts Mr. Bryan was doing Rome roaming with Romulus and ripping with Euripides. At the Forum he is said to have taken particular interest in the spot from which Cicero thundered his invec- tives against Catiline. Cicero was ac- counted somewhat of an orator in his day, but he never stampeded a Democratic con- vention with "a cross of gold and crown of thorns" speech as the boy orator did. The Republicans of Indiana should be re- joiced j to have Mr. Bryan come here again to make speeches. He is an advance agent of Republican victory. He came here with his peculiar line of goods in 1S96, and after showing them to the people and descanting upon their merits with the eloquence of an orator pleading his own cause, the Repub- licans carried the State by 18,181, when four years before Grover Cleveland had carried it by 7,000. Four years later Mr. Bryan re- turned with the same samples -- and can- vassed the State again. Like a persistent salesman who will not take no for an an- swer, and who thinks he knows what people want better than they do themselves, he exhibited and exploited his goods as he had done in 1896. This time the result was a Republican plurality of 25,163 for Gov- ernor and 26,470 for President. If Mr. Bryan could have been Induced to make a more thorough canvass of the State the Repub- lican plurality would doubtless have been larger, but Providence was kind to other States, and the silver-tongue- d orator went to swell Republican majorities elsewhere. Mr. Bryan Is scheduled to appear In Evansville at an early date, and in this city on Jan. 6, though, perhaps, the latter date may be changed for Saint Jackson's day. This is a little early for next year's election, and Mr. Bryan may not be of as much assistance to the Republicans as formerly, but they will be glad to see him. and if he Is still handling the same line of goods they will be willing to make ip any loss his employers may have on . his charges for showing samples. No other traveling man carries as large a line of po- litical novelties as Mr. Bryan, and as they have been tested in this State and found to be a sure cure for Republican lassitude and tired feeling it is hoped he will spend as much time as possible in Indiana. Mr. Bryan should not waste any more time In Europe. He is not needed there, and the little after dinner speeches he has been making do no good. He should come home, and especially to Indiana, where every blast upon his bugle horn is worth a thousand Republican votes. TAXES AM) Sl'FFRAGE. It is said that State Statistician Johnson will secure reports and prepare a state- ment showing what proportion of the voters of the State pay taxes of auy kind, either poll or property taxes, and what propor- tion pay none at all. An accurate or ap- proximately accurate statement of the kind would be useful, and yet it might be mis- leading in some respects. Its chief value would be in showing what proportion of the voters of the State pay no tax of any kind, not even poll tax. The poll tax is the only one that applies to every person of voting age. The law says a poll tax shall be assessed upon every male inhabitant of the State between the ages of twenty-on- e and fifty years. Payment of this tax is as obligatory as that of a property tax, and evasion of either is equally evidence of bad citisenship. There is reason to be- lieve that thousands of persons vote at every election who have not paid poll tax the preceding year and many who never have. We hear a good deal about tax dodgers who evade payment of taxes on real estate or personal property, but they are no worse than those who evade payment of poll tax. A property qualification for the suffrage would be unpopular and unwise. There are thousands of young men in the State of from twenty-on- e to twnty-flv- e years old, or even older, who have not yet accumu- lated any property, and consequently pay no property tax, but who are good citizens and as well qualified and entitled to vote as the man who pays taxes on thousands or even millions of dollars' worth of property. If would be very unfair aud unwise to deny this class of young men the right to vote because they are not property owners, but there would be no injustice in saying they shall not vote unless they have paid the poll tax imposed by the law. Several of the Southern States make pay- ment of poll tax the preceding year a pre- requisite for voting. In Pennsylvania if a citizen be twenty-tw- o years old or more he must have paid tax within two years to entitle him to vote. A man of voting age who does not contribute to the support of the government as much as a poll tax or who purposely evades or carelessly ignores the law requiring tsuch payment would have no reson to complain if he were denied the privilege of voting. THE SMOOT CASE. It has been evident for some time past that a movement was being worked up for the unseating of Senator Smoot, of Utah. The movement seemed to be Inspired by personal animus, and probably would not have made much headway had it not been taken up by the women, who. through some of their organisations, have secured the extensive circulation and signing of peti- tions asking that Mr. Smoot be unseated. These petitions have reached the Senate in gret uumbers, and have been referred to the committee on privileges and elections, and several representative women are now in Washington to assist in pressing consid eration of them. The charges against Mr. Smoot are, first. that he is a polygamlst, and, second, that the Mormon Church is a political as well as a religious organization, and that as an official of that church he is necessarily disloyal to the United States government Both of these charges are serious, and if either of them were proven Mr. Smoot should be denied a seat in the Sonate. Po lygamy waa forbidden by an act of Con- - j gross before Utah was admitted as a State, TIIE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1903. and was made a penal offense. It was for many years a foul blot on our civilization, and no person practicing it in violation of law should be admitted to a seat in the United States Senate. But Mr. Smoot denies that he is a polyga- mic and challenges the- - most searching in- vestigation on the subject. This being a matter of fact. It should not be difficult for the Senate to settle It definitely. Of course, the only question Is whether Mr. Smoot is a practical polygamlst; that is. whether he actually has more than the one wife who accompanies him to Washing- ton. What he may believe or what the Mormon Church may teach is another ques- tion. Under the constitutional provision guaranteeing freedom of religious belief, no person can be punihtd for his academic opinions regarding polygamy or anything else. The law cau deal only with acts. As Mr. Smoot expresses his readiness to meet and refute the charge he should be given an early opportunity to do so. The other charge Is equally as serious. Mr. Smoot is what is called an apostle of the Mormon Church; that is, he has passed through certain forms and taken certain degrees which give him a different standing from an ordinary member. It is asserted by those who claim to know that he could not have reached the rank of apostle, which is called "going through the temple," without taking oaths and assum- ing "bonds and covenants" which are para- mount to his loyalty as a citizen of the United States. There are numerous aff- idavits on file bearing on this point in the Smoot case, some of them made by former members of the Mormon Church. One of these, which may be taken as a sample of others, says: That on going through the temple and on taking my endowments I was placed under "bond and covenant." with all my property and all that I could do and all that I am, to be subjected to the call of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Da- y Saints. That the teachings of the church afore- said are to overthrow ail governments which do not obey the priesthood; that I was bound by the most severe "bonds and covenants" or oaths imaginable that I would keep the obligations I have taken. That previous to my uniting with the aforesaid church I was a patriot and loved and obeyed the laws of the government under whose protection I had ever Hired. The Mormons taught me that all govern- ments were corrupt and had to be over- thrown; that sympathy for them meant enmity toward God s kingdom the Mormon Church. Under this teaching I lost my pa- triotism; I was no longer a loyal citizen. Senator Hoar said a few days ago that this question of subordinating loyalty to the government to loyalty to the Mormon Church was a serious one and should be thoroughly investigated. The Journal Is of the same opinion. Mr. Smoot has denied positively that he is a polygamist. but as far as The Journal knows, he has not made any statement on the other point. The free exercise of religion and religious belief is a very sacred right, but it cannot be per- mitted to Include taking oaths or assuming obligations inconsistent with loyalty to the government. There may be nothing in this charge, but it should be investigated. The case should be tried on its merits In a spirit of Judicial fairness, and not of religious persecution. Mary Baker G. Eddy is not "Mother" Eddy any more officially but "Leader" Eddy; but the official proclamation of the Christian Scientists will not soon be able to destroy the appellation which is used as a nickname by most people and as a term of endearment by the remainder. It is reported that the chance In Man- churia for American trade in lumber and flour is very poor, but that there are im- mense sales of American beer. The Man-churia- ns don't care particularly for Mich- igan or Minnesota, but they are determined keep Milwaukee famous. A St. Paul minister, the Rev. David Mor- gan, has declared that clergymen are para- sites. The statement is interesting, coming from such a source; and yet, as the old proverb hath it, " 'Tis an ill bird that fouls Its own nest." The Boston booksellers lost their case, and Rabelais and Boccaccio can no longer be obtained in the literary Hub. This is hard on the Hub, and the booksellers. Rabelais and Boccaccio, however, will prob- ably survive. A French chemist has discovered that there is enough phosphorus in the human body to make 820,000 matches. That prob ably explains why none are made in heaven we have to leave all the material behind. There is a new electric line in Colorado on which passengers pay fare according to their weight instead of by the mile. This must be a scheme to train obese persons down to graceful proportions.

Tipton has found that the advent of the trac- tion lines brought more business to the city. and the enterprising merchants of Frankfort need have no fear of business getting away from them on account of the traction lines. They will help any town that will take ad- vantage of them. Tipton Tribun. The Louisville Courier-Journ- al devotes con- siderable editorial space to "Report of the Mint." It refers, however, to the department of government devoted to coinage of money and not. as one might naturally expect, to a popular product of Kentucky for which, with acces- sories, the State is widely and justly cele- brated. Lafayette Courier. The Cincinnati Commercial-Tribun- e prints an editorial arraigning President Roosevelt. The editorial Is a double-colum- n affair, hut it seems to have considerable more width than depth. The Commercial-Tribun- e used to wield some influence with Indiana Republicans, but that was before it bogan indulging in perform- ances like this. Marion Chronicle. Lofty sentiments are those enunciated by Sen- ator Bevertdge In his admirable address at De Pouw University's Inaugural exercises. They breathe the spirit of exalted citizenship, of manly aims and of patriotic purpose. A study of the junior senator's timely admonitions can- not be too strongly commended to all engaged in educational work. South Bend Times. There Is a strong feeling, and It Is growing every day in this country, that the Bible ought to be used in all public schools as one of the best of the classics on account of its literary excellence. The Idea Is opposed by a good many people who fear that it mlgth be used In the interest of and to advance some particu- lar creed. It is a great pity that there cannot be a universal agreement upon what consti- tutes revelation and what does not. that the genuine might be universally taught. Evans- ville Journal-New- s. "When it comes to joining worldly prosperity with a new religion, there is a certain female apostle who has Dov.ie beat to a finish.

If there is anything in state pride, state fel- lowship, fealty and Hoosler brotherhood It seems to us that Gen. James N. Tyner's letter to President Roosevelt will bring those feelings powerfully to the surface. This Is true espe- cially of the Eleventh district. It is not the purpose of the Republicans to criticise the Pres- ident. His motives are high and his hands must be upheld In the splendid work he is do- ing. But J. L. Bristow, of Kansas, must n"t stand as judge and jury in a trial of such a man as James N. Tyner. of Peru. We demand for Mr. Tyner a fair trial. Mr. Bristow must share the consequences. We understand that James N. Tyner was In a position to shoulder resionsibillty. But he has not been tried, and until he is tried we submit to Mr. Bristow that James N. Tyner, of the Eleventh district, is reputedly unimpeachable. Marion News-Tribun- e. ABOUT PEOPLE AND THINGS. H n. F. M. Drake, who has just died In Des Moines. Ia., left an estate estimated at about 11,000.000, Instead of 15,000,000, as at first re- ported. That Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a philatelist of many years' standing has Just mme to light by the discovery of a stamp room in her old home at Woodcllff, N. J. In tha recesses of one of the rooms more than 18,000 stamps were found hung on the walls. Feminine Moors are generally absolutely Ig- norant of their age. Among Moorish women this is a point of honor, but it is really no affectation, for, as their birthdays are never celebrated In any manner, the passage of the years is far less noticed than it is with us. Mr. Atkinson, the new attorney general of Ire- land, Is a martyr to rheumatibm, and, to use; his own phrase, has "steeped his legs in every bath in Europe." A lady of the great world once commiserated him on his suffering, and added: "But you look well, Mr. Atkinson." "My dear Lady Blank," he replied, "it's my legs that are bad, and you can't see them." Not more than 400 of the "cedars of Lebanon" are standing to-da- y. They do not. though their age is measured In years by thousands, rival in dimensions the cedars of the Western world, the largest, so slow in their growth, being but twelve feet In diameter. No tree gives so great an expanse of shade as the cedar, and it never dies, except from lightning stroke or the woodman's ax. M. Maximin Crappier, an Inhabitant of Calx. France, who recently died In his ninetieth year, was the head of a family which for patriarchal sire beats all records In the world. Himself the eldest of ten children, his mother, at her death in 1SS0, at the age of ninety-fou- r, could boast of 144 children, grandchildren and great-- ) grandchildren. M. Crappier, during his life- time, became an uncle or greatuncle no fewer than 263 times. ' From eight to twelve cats are part of the equipment of every great ocean liner, and these same pussies duly appear on the ship's books, where their rations are accounted for. Each cat is stationed at a different part of the ship, and certain stewards are told off to feed them daily. There is not a little rivalry between different stewards when the respective merits as ratcatchers of different cats under their charge are being discussed. In Japan the nose Is the only feature which attracts attention. The nose determines the beauty or ugliness of the face, according as it is big or small. This is probably due to the fact that difference In noses constitutes about the only distinction between one Japanese face and another. The eyes are invariably black, the cheek bones high and the chin receding. In Japan a la iy who has a huge proboscis ts always a great beauty and a reigning belle. A BATCH OF LITTLE STORIES. Grosrrnor'i Correction. "Old FIggers" Grosvenor, of Ohio, arose pon- derously in the House this morning and held up a compelling hand. "Mr. Speaker." he said. "I notice by the Rec- ord that I am quoted as having referred to the United States Senate as 4they.' I think that should be corrected, Mr. President, as I always refer to the United SUtes Senate as 'it.' " "Tag," said Speaker Cannon. "The designa- tion fits and will be changed." New York World. Saw No Difficulty in Case. The other day a Philadelphian came to John G. Johnson to get .in opinion on a singular case. It happened that two sisters, living in the same house, had infants of eoual age who so resem- bled each other that their mothers were unable to distinguish them when they were together. Now, It so happened that by the carelessness) of the nurse the children had become mixed. The father of one of the infants wanted to know how the mothers were to make sure they had received back their own Infants. "But, perhaps, ' suggested the lawyer, "the children were not changed at all?" "Oh. but they were " "Are you sure of that?" The father was very sure. Well. If that Is so. why don't you change them back again?" remarked the lawyer, blandly. "I don't see any difficulty in that case." Philadelphia Ledger. Were All Gentlemen. Sir John Benny father, an old-tim- e "swearing general" of the British army, is tha subject of this story y Ird Wolseley: "His reeiment was his home and all ranks in it were to him his children. It had lost heavily in the battle of Meeanee, and as he looked upon its thinned ranks that evening he fairly broke down. In- - tensely proud of what they had done that day and with tears coursing down his cheeks, he said to them: 'I can't make you a speech, my lads, but. by , you are all gentlemen.' " Chicago Newa Wouldn't Trust the Map. At the St. Andrew's Society dinner, the other night. President Wilson, of Princeton, told of a Scotch gardener, recently landed, who had great difficulty in acquiring a knowledge of American geography a difficulty In which President Wil- son admitted he shared. The son of the house- hold, falling to teach the gardener in any other way. brought out a huge, highly-colore- d map. The Scot looked at it critically. "Ah, yes, lad. that may be; but it's no to be trulsted it's laid oot In the plaid o the leein MacFechtons," was his comment. New Tork Tribune. Understood the Situation. Tishop Potter says that years ago, when he lived in Boston. Colonel Hfgginson was running for Congress. On election day he met a negro going to the polls, and waa astonished to learn that the negro wasn't going to vote for the leader of the black regiment. "I said to Tom," said the bishop, "that I thought every consid eratlon of chivalry and honor should lead him to support the man who had given the negro j rac its greatest opportunity In the civil war. Tom replied. I don't see that way. I think chivalry and honor constrain me to vote for the gentleman what gave me this morning.' " Boston Post. Breaking the Xewi tiently. Danny O'Brien worked on the section and was as tender-hearte- d a man as ever got drunk and cracked a pate with a shillelah. At the time of Pat Dumphy's great misfortune Danny was chosen by the section gang to break the news gently to Mrs. Dumphy. "Good marnin', Mrs. Dumphy," said he. "Did ye hear about Pat?" "I heard nothing about him since break- fast," she answered. "Did he seem to be all right then?" "Sure he did." "Te noticed nothln' wrong wid his mind?" "Nothin' at all. Phwhy de ye ask?" "Well, I hear that his mind do be wanderin' a little." "An phwat de ye mean be that?" "I mean he have lost his reason, Mrs. Dum- phy." "Lost his reason, is it? An' how did he do that?" "Well, Mrs. Dumphy." said Danny, scratch- ing his hoad. "I don't knaw exactly. Ye see. I wasn't close by whin it happened. But I do be hearhV from the rest o' the b'ys that he fell acrost the track an' a train cut his head off." Brooklyn Eagle. MR. BAILEY, OF TEXTS, AIRS HIS OPINION OF THE CUBAN BILL (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) slon on the pension appropriation bill, the House, at 4:15, adjourned. a In response to the resolution of the Sen- ate of Dec. 9 the Spanish treaty claims commission to-d- ay sent to the Senats copies of the. announcement made on Nov. 24. 1902, and April 28. 1903. of the principles governing Its decisions, which were reaf- firmed on Dec. 5, 1903, in connection with the various opinions then filed. The com- mission also transmitted copies of the vari- ous opinions of the commission. The main propositions to the commission were that the United States will now be held liable to its own citizens only for acts for which Spain would have been liable to those citi- zens if the United States had not released the claims and assumed the obligations of Spain, and, further, that Spain, except in special cases, was not liable for damage done by the Insurgents or for damage done by insurgent troops in their attempts to suppress the insurrection. The Democratic senators to-da- y were in caucus for two hours, and adjourned until w. The subjects under discussion were party discipline, the force of caucus action and general policy. Toward the close of the meeting the Panama situation was talked over, the policy of the party regarding the new republic and the treaty being the questions at issue. It is expected the isthmian situation will engage the at- tention of the caucus. DR. HALE IS CHOSEN AS SENATE CHAPLAIN WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. The Republican senators in caucus to-d- ay decided upon the Rev. Edward Everett Hale, of Boston, for chaplain of the Senate, beginning Jan. L He is a Congregationalist. and Is now eighty-thre- e years old. BOSTON, Dec. 14. Dr. Edward Everett Hale has wired his willingness to accept the appointment as chaplain of the United States Senate, tendered him to-da- y. He has made arrangements to spend the winter in Washington with his family. MARINES ARE LANDED TO MEET COLOMBIANS (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) patches indicate, Gen. Rafael Reyes, Co- lombian minister to the United States, it is learned, would regard the call of his coun- try as a command which it would be diffi- cult for him to refuse to obey. General Reyes has consistently declined to discuss the question of his election, but to an inti- mate friend he is quoted as saying that he could hardly refuse to serve his country In the hour of her need, although he is not a politician and had never sought the pres- idency. Several friends of General Reyes confidently predict that he will certainly accept. It is further learned that General Reyes is still undecided as tb the nature of his note to the 8tate Department formally set- ting forth Colombia's views on the Panama situation. A brief memorandum has been submitted to his counsel, Wayne Mac-Veag- h. but this itself is only tentative. It can be stated that Colombia will first ex- press her protest against the events on the isthmus, but further than this General Rfyes has not decided what form his state- ment shall take. General Reyes called at the State Depart- ment to-d- ay and was closetod with A?sit-an- t Secretary Loomis for nearly an hour. In reply to a question the general said he had given assurance to this government that, pending his diplomatic mission to Washington, there would be no hostilities on the part of th Colombian troops. As to what would be done after that the general would make no statement, but significantly shrugged his shoulders. He would not dis- close the nature of the paper which he is preparing for presentation to 'the State De- partment, but wanted it said that Colombia in that statement did not make nny de- mand for a part of the $10.000,000 to be paid to Panama in consideration of the canal treaty. General Reyes express d the hope that there would be no war between the United States and Colombia. "The United States wants civilization," he said. "She wants to be on friendly terms with the countries of the south." Army la Becoming Anxious. WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. The news of the movement of marines southward from Panama, based as it was on the reported landing of Colombian troops in that part of the isthmus, was received with keen interest in army circles, where there has been exhibited for some time a desire to participate with the navy in any military BsSTSflSSnta on th isthmus, the general staff gave the subject immediate atten- tion. There was, however, no outcome in tli shape of orders to troops, though the arrival here of Brig. On. Franklin Bell, superintendent of the general staff col- lege at Leavenworth, was regarded as con- firming the previous statements to the ef- fect that th army Is making ready to do Its share at a moment's notice. General Bell was In consultation with some of the members of the general staff during the afternoon. Deaapre to Return oon. WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.

THE DRIFT The meeting of the Democratic state committee yesterday at the Grand Hotel was made the occasion for the gathering of prominent party workers from all parts of Indiana, and for the exchange of an end- less amount of gossip anent candidates and what tne Democrats will do in the Si it and Nation at the approaching election. One or two new booms were launched, and booms that have been In evidence for some months were given renewed impetus. Among the men here, in addition to the officers and members of the committee, were: lien F. Shively, South Bend; Kirby Risk, Lafayette; former State Chairman Uarks M. Martin, Indianapolis; Fabian Gwin, Shoals; Senator W. H. Johnston, Crawfordsville; Dale J. Crlttenbergtr and ilartlett H. Campbell, Anderson, Judge John K. Lamb, Terrs Haute; Walter Hu-let- t, Crawfordsvlile; Major G. V. Menzies, Mount Vernon; J. E. Cox, Columbus; An- drew M. Sweeney, Indianapolis; John Rags- - dale, franklin; Joseph H. Sshea, Seymour; L. Ert Slack. Franklin; Frank D. Ader. Greencastle; W. H. Shields, Columbus; W H. Hawkins, former secretary of state com- - j miiiee, inuianapuus, lcnoias cornet n er- - , sailles; George Bebee, Anderson; Henry Barnhardt, Kochester; J. C. Robinson, ßpencer; Senator Cyrus E. Davis, Bloom-fiel- d; Jerome Hcrff, Peru; S. M. Ralston, Lebanon; W. H. Hedgecock, Franklort; W. E. Duprec, Franklin; H. A. Maker, Carmel, and Edgar L. Maines, Zionsville, president of the Indiana Jefferson League. Thomas Taggart, John W. Kern, Joseph E. Bell, James L. Keach, Charles Polau r and Mayor John W. Holtzman were other prominent Indianapolis Democrats who were j largely in evidence about the hotel during the day. XXX The Fleming-Tagga- rt episode furnished the sensation of the day and occasioned no end of gossip, although the talk was car- ried on for the most part in hushed whis- pers bt tween groups of two or three. No more disconcerting bombshell could have been dropped Into the camp that was to have been all harmony than Senator Flem- ing's refusal to vote for the indorsement of Mr. Taggart, for this action could be taken as nothing short of a declaration of war between the old factions. Mr. Taggart himself maintained his usual unruffled, im-pertura- ble demeanor, but it was obvious that his friends were greatly worried, While, the leaders who had hoped to get the party in shape for a long pull and a strong puil altogether were displeased, to say the least. Outwardly they affected to see nothing noteworthy in Senator Fleming's attitude, and assumed that the Fort Wayne man could yet be persuaded to see the disas- trous effect on the party his action would have and induced to "get in line." xxx On the whole it was not Mr. Taggart 's day, for two or three other things oc-curr- e'd to disturb his peace of mind and mar the pleasure he might have had in the indorsement for national chairman and the progress of his plans to become the dom- inant factor in Indiana Democracy. For In- stance, James Leroy Keach, Democratic city chairman, issued his formal declara- tion of war against Mr. Taggart. Mr. Keach took occasion to announce that he would be against Joseph T. Fanning for district chairman and brought out his candidate in the person of "Tom" Clarke, Democratic city committeeman from the Eighth ward. Mr. Keach waited until he was assured that Mr. Fanning would bo a candidate for on aud then declared himself. "I shall be against Fanning for district chair- man," he said. "I guess that is generally understood. I am going to fight him for the same reason I fought him for city chairman because I do not think he is the man to lead the party to success." "Are you fighting Taggart through Fan- ning?" "Fighting Taggart!" repeated Keach in tones of affected surprise. "Why should I fight Taggart? I'm not interested In Mr. Taggart any more than I am in any other Democrat. I am a Democrat, consequently I am interested In the party 's success and want the best men in the organization and at the head of the organization." Mr. Keach's taking unto himself of David B. Hill's famous motto, "I am a Democrat," was done ingenuously, but effectively. When asked if "Tom" Clarke was hi? can- didate against Mr. Fanning Mr. K'-ir- dodged by saying that Clarke was the only candidate he had heard of against the pres- ent district chairman. xxx Charles Polster, the former Indiana-avenu- e saloon keeper, and Keach's strongest lieutenant, was around the hotel early in the day, nursing his ambition to become district chairman, or a candidate for the place. He said that he expected to be a candidate, btit was not ready to make a definite announcement. Not until he read in the evening papers that Clarke would be Keach s candidate against Fanning did Polster know that a "definite announce- ment" had been made. In the language of the street, Polster has been "trun down" by Keach, and "trim down" hard. Polster made Keach city chairman, according to the politicians, and has stood by him and fought for him through thick and thin, but the first time he asked any favors of Keach that worthy looked him over and announced coldly; "You're good as a ward heeler, Charley, but you won't do as a candidate for district chairman. Back to Indiana avenue!" .That Polster Is aroused at the base Ingratitude of the man he has served is taken for granted, and it was reported last night that he had decided revenge should be his and had gone over bag and baggage to the Teg-ga- rt camp. Polster was formerly a good friend of the wily boss and it would be an easy matter for him to go back to his old alliances. With Polster lined up with Taggart against Keach the latter's "finish" is visible to the naked eye at any distance, but the fght will undoubtedly be an interesting ono at every stage. Keach is a politician of re- source, is a splendid organizer and Is al- ready in control of the city machine, hence he cannot be downed without a struggle. Jeeph T. Fanningr's announcement of his candidacy for re-electi- on as district chair- man was not unexpected. "There really is no occasion for a formal announcement from me." he said. "It has been understood for somo time that I would bs a candidate. I wish to say. however, that as a candidate I am not fighting anybody. I shall work for the election, but it will not be a part of my canvass to attack anyone who may not be for me." xxx The appearance of Judge John E. Lamb, of Terre Haute, among the faithful was TALK INSURANCE. State Undertakers in Annual Ses- sion and Sit at Banquet. The Indiana League ot Fire Underwriters held lt3 annual meeting at the Claypool Hotel yesterday. About twenty-tw- o mem- bers attended the meeting and discussed fire insurance matters. The league is com- posed of the special and State apents in Indiana. During the day officers were elected as follows: Prerident, S. Penfleld, of Indianapolis; flrst vice pret-ident- . a. J. Dillon, of Roches- ter; second vice president, J. W. Coleman, of Warsaw; secretary and treasurer, George II. Rehm, of Indianapolis; execu- tive committee, J. W. Williams, F. W. Alexander and George O. Hoadley, all of Indianapolis. Last night the members of the league spent a few hours about the banquet table. C. G. Meeker was the toastmaster. The programme of toasts was as follows: Opening remarks, D. A. Rudy; "Commis- sions from the Standpoint of the Local and Special Agent," A. J. Dillon; "The Troubles of the Special Agent," John K. Engle; "Does It Pay to be Good?" Fred Penfleld. Old Settler Is Dead. Samuel Miller, eighty-fou- r years old, died suddenly yesterday at his home four miles northwest of this city on the Lafayette pike. Mr. Miller was born in Frederick county. Maryland, and In 1S35 came with his parents and settled In the neighborhood where he died. He leaves one daughter and thre5 sons, one of whom Is Hiram W. Miller. Yohn Block Dnmaged.

He it was who orig inated the famous bull story on Qrover Cleveland a decade ago and last evening he was surrouded by a group of friends who demanded that he tell it over again. "It was in the csmpaign of !4," he be gan, the year, you will rememher. that the tide had begun to turn against us. I was sent to Michigan City to make a speech at a big meeting. In the course of my speech I referred to the Wilson tariff bill, spoke of it as a great and good measure and attempt- ed to bring out its strong points. Just as I reached a climax a fine looking man arose In the audience and asked very' modestly if he might put a question to me. Certainly. I said. Go right ahead, and answer vour question if T can." .. .Jf the Wilson tariff bill was such a good measure as you would have us believe it was,' he said, I would like to know why it was that your Democratic President, Grover Cleveland, would not sign It? "Well," laughed the judge, "the question was a blow right between the eyes. It was both pertinent and impertinent, and I confes-- s that I was completely stumped for a second. Then an inspiration came to me. 'My Friend,' I said to the man. 'you ask me why Grover Cleveland would not sign Um Wilson bill. The best answer I can give you is to tell you a story. An Irishman once purchased a bull, and when he started to take it home he thought hs would make doubly sure of not losing It by tying the end of the rope, by which he led the animal, around his waist. He did so and proceeded toward home without mishap until he and the bull were almost there. Then a dog ran out and snapped at the bull's heels and the bull started off on a dead run. dragging the Irishman at the end of the neie. The Irishman had all he could do to keep on his feet and they were tearing down the road at a great clip when they passed a friend of his. "Hello, Mike.' yelled the friend as they passed. 'Where are you going?' 'You d od gas ted fool, ask the bull!' howled Mike.' "That story." added Judge Lamb, "was the only answer I could possibly have mads to the man. and of course it made a hit with that Democratic audience. The story afterward reached President Cleveland, but I don't know that he enjoyed it." x I Maj. G. V. Measles, of Mt. Vernon, was one of Judge Lamb's Interesting auditors, and he promptly matched the judge's story. "This is no cock and bull, or Irishman and bull story," declared the major. "It Is a true story. Not long ago one of the deputy game wardens had an old man arrested in our county on a charge of violating the fish laws. He caught old Uncle Bob red-hande- d, so to speak, for he found him with a lot of reines in his possession. When the case came for trial the sheriff, who was a friend of Uncle Bob, thought he would do all hs could for the old man, and summoned all the fishermen he could got for the Jury. Most of them were Fet aside, and then the sheriff brought in old soldiers. I'ncle Bob Is a veteran, ar.d the sheriff thought ha would be safe In the hands of a Jury of hl old comrades. Finally the esse was ready for trial, with nine or ten old soldiers on the Jury. There was but one side t the case the prosecution's. The evidence was all against Uncle Rob, and when his lawyer arose to make his plea he could do nothing but appeal to the sympathy and patriotism of the Jury. " 'Gentlemen of the Jury.' he said, in tie course of his speech. I want to ask you If you can bring In any other verdict than one of acquittal? Can you send this gray-haire- d, battle-scarre- d old veteran to Jail? For the sake of a few paltry fish would you disgrace this man who fought that this country of ours might Ifve? Gentlemen, in the days that tried men's souls, where was Uncle Bob? At Vicksburg. where the bui-- lr ts flew the thickest, where the old flat? waved there was nel Bob On hundred bloody fields, wherever Old Glory was un- furled, wherever the old ilag waved, there was Uncle Bob.' "The judge gave the jury the only In- structions to be expected, aud a verdict of guilty seemed inevitable, but the jury was out only long enough to write a ver- dict and return. The foreman read the verdict and it was 'not guilty.' Uncle Bob was the first man in the courtroom to make a move after the verdict had been read. Jumping up he hobbled over to the Jury, seized the foreman b the hand and shout- ed. 'Comrade, she still waves! The old flag still waves.' " x 4 a The gubernatorial boom of Prof. H. B. Brown, of Valparaiso, received a decided impetus at the Democratic gathering. One Brown enthusiast put the case in this wise: "Professor Brown is not only an able man. but he is immensely popular. He has 30,000 old students scattered about over In- diana, and they'd all be for him, both Republicans and Democrats." Andrew M. Sweeney, of Indianapolis, for- merly of Jasper county, was another of the stalwarts talked of as a gubernatorial pos- sibility, while B. H. Campbell, former member of the Democratic state committee from the Eighth district, brought the boom for Mayor John L. Forkner, of Anderson, with him and gave it renewed inflation. Mayor John W. Holtcman, of this city, was about the hotel all day, getting ac- quainted with the "brethren" and attract- ing considerable attention as the man who carried Indianapolis as a reformer and who might be available as a candidate for Gov- ernor next year. xxx Republican State Chairman James P. Goodrich, of Winchester, was In the city a few hours yesterday. He announced that the date of the Republican love-fea- st will be Dec. 30, Instesd of Dec. 29. and said that further arrangements for the affair will be made at once. The rules which were adopt- ed by the state committee last week are now in the hands of the printers, he said and will be sent out within a few days. xxx A. A. Tripp, of North Vernon, who Is a candidate for the Republican district chair- manship In the Fourth, was at the English yesterday. ARCHITECTS ALL FAVOR A NEW BUILDING LAW Willing to Meet with Inspector to Discuss the Proposed New Requirements. Building Inspector Stanley's invitations, sent to the architects of the city, asking them to meet with him la a discussion of a revision of the city's building laws, have met with favorable replies from many. Architects generally seem to favor a great .many changes In the law. particularly with regard to the specifications for the building of flats, and the provision of sufficient light and adequate fire escapes. "I have sent to a number of the large cities of the country," said Mr. Stanley yes-terda- v. "for cotdes of their building laws. I have already received copies of the 'laws of New York, Philadelphia ar.d Chlcagro, Here they are. And here's the Indianapolis law. Quite a difference, isn't there?" JOHN A. CONLEN DEAD.

Conlen. a prominent member of the Knights of Pythias, and son of Patrick Conlen, a Y. t Washington-stree- t jVweler. died at Guthrie, O. T.. Sunday as a result of a surgical operation.

The recent report of the secretary of thetreasury contains a list of forty-fiv- e portsOf entry at which customs expenses exceedreceipts. At every one of these ports itgopts more than a dollar to collect a dol-

lar. At several of the ports tne cost ofcollecting each dollar exceeded $20, at fiveports it exceeded $HW. at three it exceeded

ZO0. aad at Galena. 111.. It coet $378 to col-

lect seventy cents. All such ports of entryShould, of course, be abolished. Indianap-olis makes a good showing for a far inlandsort of entry. The total number of en-

tries of imported goods at this point dur-

ing the year waa 715. and the duties col-

lected amounted to flf,6H at a cost of fli,-06- 4.

Readers of the Journal are probablyaware that entries at inland ports are madehy shipments of goods in bond, by railway.

State Chairman O'Brien thinks the Demo-

publicans have carried Connecticut In eightdifferent presidential elections, and theDemocrats have carried It in three; theRepublicans have carried New Tork InSSVen presidential elections, and the Demerata In four, and iho Republicans have

carried New Jersey In four elections, andthe Democrats in seven. The electoralvotes in these States show that New Yorkand Connecticut are normally Republican,and the popular vote shows it tili moreconclusively. The only normally Demo-

cratic states are south of Mason andDixon's line.

AX ADVANCE AliKST OF HEPI BLICANVICTORY.

If current reports are true the Repub-

licans of Indiana are to be congratulatedon a coming piece of good fortune. It Is

said that William J. Bryan will soon enterthe State to make a series of speeches In

favor of Democratic harmony on a freesilver basis, and such other political vaga-

ries as he may have evolved recently. Atlast accounts Mr. Bryan was doing Rome

roaming with Romulus and ripping withEuripides. At the Forum he is said tohave taken particular interest in the spotfrom which Cicero thundered his invec-

tives against Catiline. Cicero was ac-

counted somewhat of an orator in his day,but he never stampeded a Democratic con-

vention with "a cross of gold and crown ofthorns" speech as the boy orator did.

The Republicans of Indiana should be re-

joicedj

to have Mr. Bryan come here againto make speeches. He is an advance agentof Republican victory. He came here withhis peculiar line of goods in 1S96, and aftershowing them to the people and descantingupon their merits with the eloquence of anorator pleading his own cause, the Repub-

licans carried the State by 18,181, when fouryears before Grover Cleveland had carriedit by 7,000. Four years later Mr. Bryan re-

turned with the same samples --and can-

vassed the State again. Like a persistentsalesman who will not take no for an an-

swer, and who thinks he knows what peoplewant better than they do themselves, heexhibited and exploited his goods as hehad done in 1896. This time the result wasa Republican plurality of 25,163 for Gov-

ernor and 26,470 for President. If Mr. Bryancould have been Induced to make a morethorough canvass of the State the Repub-

lican plurality would doubtless have beenlarger, but Providence was kind to otherStates, and the silver-tongue- d orator wentto swell Republican majorities elsewhere.

Mr. Bryan Is scheduled to appear InEvansville at an early date, and in thiscity on Jan. 6, though, perhaps, the latterdate may be changed for Saint Jackson'sday. This is a little early for next year'selection, and Mr. Bryan may not be of asmuch assistance to the Republicans asformerly, but they will be glad to see him.and if he Is still handling the same lineof goods they will be willing to make ipany loss his employers may have on . hischarges for showing samples. No othertraveling man carries as large a line of po-

litical novelties as Mr. Bryan, and as theyhave been tested in this State and found tobe a sure cure for Republican lassitude andtired feeling it is hoped he will spend asmuch time as possible in Indiana.

Mr. Bryan should not waste any moretime In Europe. He is not needed there,and the little after dinner speeches he hasbeen making do no good. He should comehome, and especially to Indiana, whereevery blast upon his bugle horn is worth athousand Republican votes.

TAXES AM) Sl'FFRAGE.It is said that State Statistician Johnson

will secure reports and prepare a state-ment showing what proportion of the votersof the State pay taxes of auy kind, eitherpoll or property taxes, and what propor-

tion pay none at all. An accurate or ap-

proximately accurate statement of the kindwould be useful, and yet it might be mis-

leading in some respects. Its chief valuewould be in showing what proportion of thevoters of the State pay no tax of anykind, not even poll tax.

The poll tax is the only one that applies toevery person of voting age. The law says apoll tax shall be assessed upon every maleinhabitant of the State between the ages oftwenty-on- e and fifty years. Payment of thistax is as obligatory as that of a propertytax, and evasion of either is equally evidenceof bad citisenship. There is reason to be-

lieve that thousands of persons vote atevery election who have not paid poll taxthe preceding year and many who neverhave. We hear a good deal about taxdodgers who evade payment of taxes on realestate or personal property, but they areno worse than those who evade paymentof poll tax.

A property qualification for the suffragewould be unpopular and unwise. There arethousands of young men in the State offrom twenty-on- e to twnty-flv- e years old,or even older, who have not yet accumu-lated any property, and consequently payno property tax, but who are good citizensand as well qualified and entitled to voteas the man who pays taxes on thousands oreven millions of dollars' worth of property.If would be very unfair aud unwise to denythis class of young men the right to votebecause they are not property owners, butthere would be no injustice in saying theyshall not vote unless they have paid the polltax imposed by the law.

Several of the Southern States make pay-

ment of poll tax the preceding year a pre-

requisite for voting. In Pennsylvania ifa citizen be twenty-tw- o years old or more

he must have paid tax within two years toentitle him to vote. A man of voting agewho does not contribute to the support ofthe government as much as a poll tax orwho purposely evades or carelessly ignoresthe law requiring tsuch payment would haveno reson to complain if he were deniedthe privilege of voting.

THE SMOOT CASE.It has been evident for some time past

that a movement was being worked up forthe unseating of Senator Smoot, of Utah.The movement seemed to be Inspired bypersonal animus, and probably would nothave made much headway had it not beentaken up by the women, who. through someof their organisations, have secured theextensive circulation and signing of peti-

tions asking that Mr. Smoot be unseated.These petitions have reached the Senate ingret uumbers, and have been referred tothe committee on privileges and elections,and several representative women are nowin Washington to assist in pressing consideration of them.

The charges against Mr. Smoot are, first.that he is a polygamlst, and, second, thatthe Mormon Church is a political as wellas a religious organization, and that asan official of that church he is necessarilydisloyal to the United States governmentBoth of these charges are serious, and ifeither of them were proven Mr. Smootshould be denied a seat in the Sonate. Polygamy waa forbidden by an act of Con- -

j gross before Utah was admitted as a State,

and was made a penal offense. It was formany years a foul blot on our civilization,and no person practicing it in violation oflaw should be admitted to a seat in theUnited States Senate.

But Mr. Smoot denies that he is a polyga-

mic and challenges the-- most searching in-

vestigation on the subject. This being amatter of fact. It should not be difficultfor the Senate to settle It definitely. Ofcourse, the only question Is whether Mr.Smoot is a practical polygamlst; that is.whether he actually has more than the onewife who accompanies him to Washing-ton. What he may believe or what theMormon Church may teach is another ques-tion. Under the constitutional provisionguaranteeing freedom of religious belief, noperson can be punihtd for his academicopinions regarding polygamy or anythingelse. The law cau deal only with acts. AsMr. Smoot expresses his readiness to meetand refute the charge he should be givenan early opportunity to do so.

The other charge Is equally as serious.Mr. Smoot is what is called an apostleof the Mormon Church; that is, he haspassed through certain forms and takencertain degrees which give him a differentstanding from an ordinary member. It isasserted by those who claim to know thathe could not have reached the rank ofapostle, which is called "going through thetemple," without taking oaths and assum-ing "bonds and covenants" which are para-mount to his loyalty as a citizen of theUnited States. There are numerous aff-idavits on file bearing on this point in theSmoot case, some of them made by formermembers of the Mormon Church. One ofthese, which may be taken as a sampleof others, says:

That on going through the temple and ontaking my endowments I was placed under"bond and covenant." with all my propertyand all that I could do and all that I am,to be subjected to the call of the Churchof Jesus Christ of Latter-Da- y Saints.

That the teachings of the church afore-said are to overthrow ail governmentswhich do not obey the priesthood; that Iwas bound by the most severe "bonds andcovenants" or oaths imaginable that Iwould keep the obligations I have taken.

That previous to my uniting with theaforesaid church I was a patriot and lovedand obeyed the laws of the governmentunder whose protection I had ever Hired.The Mormons taught me that all govern-ments were corrupt and had to be over-thrown; that sympathy for them meantenmity toward God s kingdom the MormonChurch. Under this teaching I lost my pa-triotism; I was no longer a loyal citizen.

Senator Hoar said a few days ago thatthis question of subordinating loyalty to thegovernment to loyalty to the MormonChurch was a serious one and should bethoroughly investigated. The Journal Isof the same opinion. Mr. Smoot has deniedpositively that he is a polygamist. but asfar as The Journal knows, he has not madeany statement on the other point. The freeexercise of religion and religious belief isa very sacred right, but it cannot be per-mitted to Include taking oaths or assumingobligations inconsistent with loyalty to thegovernment. There may be nothing in thischarge, but it should be investigated. Thecase should be tried on its merits In a spiritof Judicial fairness, and not of religiouspersecution.

MARINES ARE LANDEDTO MEET COLOMBIANS

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.)patches indicate, Gen. Rafael Reyes, Co-lombian minister to the United States, it islearned, would regard the call of his coun-try as a command which it would be diffi-cult for him to refuse to obey. GeneralReyes has consistently declined to discussthe question of his election, but to an inti-mate friend he is quoted as saying that hecould hardly refuse to serve his country Inthe hour of her need, although he is not apolitician and had never sought the pres-idency. Several friends of General Reyesconfidently predict that he will certainlyaccept.

It is further learned that General Reyesis still undecided as tb the nature of hisnote to the 8tate Department formally set-ting forth Colombia's views on the Panamasituation. A brief memorandum has beensubmitted to his counsel, Wayne Mac-Veag- h.

but this itself is only tentative. Itcan be stated that Colombia will first ex-press her protest against the events on theisthmus, but further than this GeneralRfyes has not decided what form his state-ment shall take.

General Reyes called at the State Depart-ment to-d- ay and was closetod with A?sit-an- t

Secretary Loomis for nearly an hour.In reply to a question the general said hehad given assurance to this governmentthat, pending his diplomatic mission toWashington, there would be no hostilitieson the part of th Colombian troops. As towhat would be done after that the generalwould make no statement, but significantlyshrugged his shoulders. He would not dis-close the nature of the paper which he ispreparing for presentation to 'the State De-

partment, but wanted it said that Colombiain that statement did not make nny de-mand for a part of the $10.000,000 to be paidto Panama in consideration of the canaltreaty. General Reyes express d the hopethat there would be no war between theUnited States and Colombia. "The UnitedStates wants civilization," he said. "Shewants to be on friendly terms with thecountries of the south."

THE DRIFTThe meeting of the Democratic state

committee yesterday at the Grand Hotelwas made the occasion for the gathering ofprominent party workers from all parts ofIndiana, and for the exchange of an end-

less amount of gossip anent candidates andwhat tne Democrats will do in the Si itand Nation at the approaching election.One or two new booms were launched, andbooms that have been In evidence for somemonths were given renewed impetus.Among the men here, in addition to theofficers and members of the committee,were: lien F.

Thomas Taggart, John W. Kern, JosephE. Bell, James L. Keach, Charles Polau rand Mayor John W. Holtzman were otherprominent Indianapolis Democrats who were j

largely in evidence about the hotel duringthe day.

XXXThe Fleming-Tagga- rt episode furnished

the sensation of the day and occasioned noend of gossip, although the talk was car-ried on for the most part in hushed whis-pers bt tween groups of two or three. Nomore disconcerting bombshell could havebeen dropped Into the camp that was tohave been all harmony than Senator Flem-ing's refusal to vote for the indorsementof Mr. Taggart, for this action could betaken as nothing short of a declaration ofwar between the old factions. Mr. Taggarthimself maintained his usual unruffled, im-pertura- ble

demeanor, but it was obviousthat his friends were greatly worried, While,the leaders who had hoped to get the partyin shape for a long pull and a strong puilaltogether were displeased, to say the least.Outwardly they affected to see nothingnoteworthy in Senator Fleming's attitude,and assumed that the Fort Wayne mancould yet be persuaded to see the disas-trous effect on the party his action wouldhave and induced to "get in line."

xxxOn the whole it was not Mr. Taggart 's

day, for two or three other things oc-curr- e'd

to disturb his peace of mind andmar the pleasure he might have had in theindorsement for national chairman and theprogress of his plans to become the dom-inant factor in Indiana Democracy. For In-

stance, James Leroy Keach, Democraticcity chairman, issued his formal declara-tion of war against Mr. Taggart. Mr. Keachtook occasion to announce that he wouldbe against Joseph T. Fanning for districtchairman and brought out his candidatein the person of "Tom" Clarke, Democraticcity committeeman from the Eighth ward.

Mr. Keach waited until he was assuredthat Mr. Fanning would bo a candidate for

on aud then declared himself. "Ishall be against Fanning for district chair-man," he said. "I guess that is generallyunderstood. I am going to fight him forthe same reason I fought him for citychairman because I do not think he is theman to lead the party to success."

"Are you fighting Taggart through Fan-ning?"

"Fighting Taggart!" repeated Keach intones of affected surprise. "Why should Ifight Taggart? I'm not interested In Mr.Taggart any more than I am in any otherDemocrat. I am a Democrat, consequentlyI am interested In the party 's success andwant the best men in the organization andat the head of the organization."

Mr. Keach's taking unto himself of DavidB. Hill's famous motto, "I am a Democrat,"was done ingenuously, but effectively.

When asked if "Tom" Clarke was hi? can-didate against Mr. Fanning Mr. K'-ir-

dodged by saying that Clarke was the onlycandidate he had heard of against the pres-ent district chairman.

xxxCharles Polster, the former Indiana-avenu- e

saloon keeper, and Keach's strongestlieutenant, was around the hotel early inthe day, nursing his ambition to becomedistrict chairman, or a candidate for theplace. He said that he expected to be acandidate, btit was not ready to make adefinite announcement. Not until he readin the evening papers that Clarke would beKeach s candidate against Fanning didPolster know that a "definite announce-ment" had been made.

In the language of the street, Polster hasbeen "trun down" by Keach, and "trimdown" hard. Polster made Keach citychairman, according to the politicians, andhas stood by him and fought for himthrough thick and thin, but the first timehe asked any favors of Keach that worthylooked him over and announced coldly;"You're good as a ward heeler, Charley,but you won't do as a candidate for districtchairman. Back to Indiana avenue!" .ThatPolster Is aroused at the base Ingratitudeof the man he has served is taken forgranted, and it was reported last night thathe had decided revenge should be his andhad gone over bag and baggage to the Teg-ga- rt

camp. Polster was formerly a goodfriend of the wily boss and it would be aneasy matter for him to go back to his oldalliances.

With Polster lined up with Taggartagainst Keach the latter's "finish" is visibleto the naked eye at any distance, but thefght will undoubtedly be an interesting onoat every stage. Keach is a politician of re-source, is a splendid organizer and Is al-ready in control of the city machine, hencehe cannot be downed without a struggle.

Jeeph T. Fanningr's announcement of hiscandidacy for re-electi- on as district chair-man was not unexpected. "There really isno occasion for a formal announcement fromme." he said. "It has been understood forsomo time that I would bs a candidate. Iwish to say. however, that as a candidateI am not fighting anybody. I shall workfor the election, but it will not be a part ofmy canvass to attack anyone who may notbe for me." xxx

Democracy can boast. He it was who originated the famous bull story on QroverCleveland a decade ago and last evening hewas surrouded by a group of friends whodemanded that he tell it over again.

"It was in the csmpaign of !4," he began, the year, you will rememher. that thetide had begun to turn against us. I wassent to Michigan City to make a speech ata big meeting. In the course of my speechI referred to the Wilson tariff bill, spoke ofit as a great and good measure and attempt-ed to bring out its strong points. Just asI reached a climax a fine looking man aroseIn the audience and asked very' modestly ifhe might put a question to me.

Certainly. I said. Go right ahead, andanswer vour question if T can.".. .Jf the Wilson tariff bill was such a

good measure as you would have us believeit was,' he said, I would like to know whyit was that your Democratic President,Grover Cleveland, would not sign It?

"Well," laughed the judge, "the questionwas a blow right between the eyes. Itwas both pertinent and impertinent, andI confes-- s that I was completely stumpedfor a second. Then an inspiration came tome. 'My Friend,' I said to the man. 'youask me why Grover Cleveland would notsign Um Wilson bill. The best answer Ican give you is to tell you a story. AnIrishman once purchased a bull, and whenhe started to take it home he thought hswould make doubly sure of not losing Itby tying the end of the rope, by whichhe led the animal, around his waist. Hedid so and proceeded toward home withoutmishap until he and the bull were almostthere. Then a dog ran out and snapped atthe bull's heels and the bull started offon a dead run. dragging the Irishman atthe end of the neie. The Irishman had allhe could do to keep on his feet and theywere tearing down the road at a great clipwhen they passed a friend of his. "Hello,Mike.' yelled the friend as they passed.'Where are you going?' 'You d od gastedfool, ask the bull!' howled Mike.'

"That story." added Judge Lamb, "wasthe only answer I could possibly have madsto the man. and of course it made a hitwith that Democratic audience. The storyafterward reached President Cleveland, butI don't know that he enjoyed it."

x IMaj. G. V. Measles, of Mt. Vernon, was

one of Judge Lamb's Interesting auditors,and he promptly matched the judge's story.

"This is no cock and bull, or Irishman andbull story," declared the major. "It Is atrue story. Not long ago one of the deputygame wardens had an old man arrested inour county on a charge of violating the fishlaws. He caught old Uncle Bob red-hande- d,

so to speak, for he found him with a lot ofreines in his possession. When the casecame for trial the sheriff, who was a friendof Uncle Bob, thought he would do all hscould for the old man, and summoned allthe fishermen he could got for the Jury.Most of them were Fet aside, and then thesheriff brought in old soldiers. I'ncle BobIs a veteran, ar.d the sheriff thought hawould be safe In the hands of a Jury of hlold comrades. Finally the esse was readyfor trial, with nine or ten old soldiers onthe Jury. There was but one side t the case

the prosecution's. The evidence was allagainst Uncle Rob, and when his lawyerarose to make his plea he could do nothingbut appeal to the sympathy and patriotismof the Jury.

" 'Gentlemen of the Jury.' he said, in tiecourse of his speech. I want to ask you Ifyou can bring In any other verdict thanone of acquittal? Can you send this gray-haire- d,

battle-scarre- d old veteran to Jail?For the sake of a few paltry fish wouldyou disgrace this man who fought that thiscountry of ours might Ifve? Gentlemen, inthe days that tried men's souls, where wasUncle Bob? At Vicksburg. where the bui-- lr

ts flew the thickest, where the old flat?waved there was nel Bob On hundredbloody fields, wherever Old Glory was un-

furled, wherever the old ilag waved, therewas Uncle Bob.'

"The judge gave the jury the only In-

structions to be expected, aud a verdictof guilty seemed inevitable, but the jurywas out only long enough to write a ver-dict and return. The foreman read theverdict and it was 'not guilty.' Uncle Bobwas the first man in the courtroom to makea move after the verdict had been read.Jumping up he hobbled over to the Jury,seized the foreman b the hand and shout-ed. 'Comrade, she still waves! The oldflag still waves.' "

x 4 aThe gubernatorial boom of Prof. H. B.

Brown, of Valparaiso, received a decidedimpetus at the Democratic gathering. OneBrown enthusiast put the case in thiswise: "Professor Brown is not only an ableman. but he is immensely popular. He has30,000 old students scattered about over In-

diana, and they'd all be for him, bothRepublicans and Democrats."

Andrew M. Sweeney, of Indianapolis, for-merly of Jasper county, was another of thestalwarts talked of as a gubernatorial pos-

sibility, while B. H. Campbell, formermember of the Democratic state committeefrom the Eighth district, brought the boomfor Mayor John L. Forkner, of Anderson,with him and gave it renewed inflation.Mayor John W. Holtcman, of this city,was about the hotel all day, getting ac-quainted with the "brethren" and attract-ing considerable attention as the man whocarried Indianapolis as a reformer and whomight be available as a candidate for Gov-ernor next year. xxx
