The tuberculosis exhibition now be ing given at Tomlinson Hall, in In dianapolis, under the auspices of the Commercial Club and the National Association for the Study and" "Pre vention of Tuberculosis, offers a splendid opportunity to those afflict ed with this , dread disease to learn how they may be cured. The exhibi tion is also valuable on account of the mass of vital statistics in regard to this disease, which are being made public by the various speakers. These statistics give a very encouraging view of the fight which is being wag ed on the great white plague. They state that tuberculosis is decreasing; that the total death rate in the Unit ed States decreased 10 per cent from 1890 to 1900; that the death rate from consumption fell off 22 per cent in the same time, and that the most striking fall in the mortality was in the cities; that the' decrease the last sixteen years in New York has been 40 per cent; that this great fall has been due to" better times- which means bettejvfood and "shelter, great er knowledge, through universal read ing and education. The great lesson the exhibition aims to teach is that consumption is curable, in its early stages, and is, .always preventable. This lesson is ably propounded in the conclusion of Mr. Willims's speech, which he delivered yesterday. Mr. .' Williams says, "In a word, whole some, nutritious food and God's pure air and sunshine. That , is the simple and sensible lesson that science teaches. . Living in sanitary condi- J tions, breathing always fresh air, you are! less liable to attack. Attack ed, keep. your, habitation wide open to the blessed sunshine and the heal ing mercy of the air." . O ; O ;. i Andrew Hamilton, the New York Life's Insurance lobbyist has re turned from Europe of his own ae cord to face any criminal eharges which may be lodged against him. John D. Rockefeller, who is guilty of crimes a thousand times worse than Hamilton's, is still in hiding. That dispatch from Santo Domingo stating that "the country now is at peace, and everything is tranquil," is too good to be true. Yesterday's Chicago Chronicle de nounces the other Chicago papers for their articles in regard to the arrest of John It. Walsh. The Chronicle, however, is owned by Mr. Walsh. Henry II. Rogers (Standard Oil magnate) visited his birth-place yes terday to try to keep the saloon in terests from obtainng licenses at the election. He took many citizens to the polls in an automobile. News Item. Mr. Rogers is making a beginning at doing some really decent thing, and 'he is a Standard Oil magnate too. Good thing JohnD. Rockefeller is still in hiding and cannot see the back-sliding of his most trusted lieu tenant. o For a number of hours yesterday Chicago was covered with a pall of smoke, which, coupled with heavy clouds, made the day as dark as nisrht. News Item. Maybe it was the dust kicked up by criminals leaving the city on ac count of the new ordinance providing for an increase of 1000 in the police force. SIXTH DISTRICT EDITORIALS Always a Democrat. Rev. Kuhn will not have any trou ble in getting the endorsement of the Democratic party for Congress in the Sixth District, for he has always been a consistent party man up to this time. Greenfield Star. Down this way Mr. Kuhn is spoken of as a Prohibitionist, but there is no law against a man belonging to two parties at the same time when running independent, even though the traditions of the two parties are the antipodes of each other. Con-1 nersville News. Let's see, isn't there -an old pro verb about serving two masters? Soldiers of Valparaiso have sent a memorial to Senator Hemenway to present to the United States Sen ate protesting against the common practice of congress in passing spe cial pension bills. This is a form of legislation which is unpopular wth almost all soldiers except those who get, or want to get such acts in their own behalf. It is not popular eith er with the members of the National Congress. It has grown out of a few very deserving cases which, could not be reached in any other way. From this it was invoked in ohter less deserving cases, until it is greatly abused. Many senators and congressmen feel that it is dangerous class legislation, and that instead of practicing it, congress should have the courage to pass a general pension law so liberal that special acts would not be necessary. Such is the senti ment of Congressman James E. Wat son. Greenfield Star. Rev. Thomas H. Kuhn, pastor of the Christian church at Richmond, who recently announced himself as an Independent candidate for Congress in the Sixth District against James E. Watson, dropped into this city Monday night to take a little look at the political situation at this end of the district. -Rev. Kuhn appears to us as an hon est, earnest-' citizen, who is imbued with the icfea that he has a mission in-politics to benefit rather than as a practical politician who goes about seeking personal aggrandize ment through the corruption of the voter.

HE ANNOUNCES NO REASONS Shiveley's Friends Think He Could Have Won Nomination if He Had Tried. Without assigning any reasons Charles E. , Shiveley yesterday , an nounced that 'he had decided, not to become a; candidate for attorney general. Mr. Shiveley has had the matter of his candidacy under con sideration for some time, but his de cision not to make the race for the; office will come as no great surprise to the Republican leaders of. the state. As has been stated Wayne County already has one candidate in the field for state office, Judge D. W. Corn stock, who is seeking, re-election to the appellate bench. It as notciri- sidered a wise policy for" any one county to have two candidates in the field for state offices. Many of Mr. Shiveley's friends urged him to make the race because they thought that he stood an excel lent show for nomination owing to his wide acquaintance throughout the state, made since he has been Su preme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, and while he was state sen ator from this county.
