If there is any honest desire for justice in the minds of the Kentucky pursuers or Governor Taylor it is completely overshadowed by their in famous purpose to make political capi tal out of assassination. sideration at the beginning of the sea son. One is promptness in raising the curtain, the other is rowdyism in the gallery. It is an injustice to persons of prompt habits to impose upon them a most uncomfortable wait while the procrastinators are assembling. Let it be understood that the curtain will rise at a given time and then make he promise good, and the result will be satisfactory. As to the conduct of the gallery gods it need only be said that if the frequenters of that exalted half-circle do not show a dis position to be regulated by common decency they should be regulated by the police. People who pay their money to be amused, entertained or edified by the performance on the stasre quite naturally resent being annoyed and harassed by hoodeums in the audience. A large and growing proportion of the people read the newspaper, and mere is ample evidence that any announcement in its columns vhich is to the public advantage will not es cape public notice. The man who buys space according to his means will soon have more means with which to buy more space. It is frequently remarked thtit one result of the tragic death of President Mckinley will be the pe rmament re tirement of Senator Mark Ilanna from public life. Although it is not gen erallv known. Senator Ilanna, before the President was shot, had with drawn from active public affairs and, for imperative reasons relating to the condition of his health, he was ab solutely removed from political con cerns. The sentiment is steadily gaining ground that Silly Billy Hearst's papers the New York Journal, Chicago American and San Francisco Examiner are.public nuisances. It has been well said that these yellow sheets are putrid in the eyes of all good citizens, and Hearst himself has long been sickening stench. His papers reflect the fears of only the putty-hearted, and they embzon, as canonized virt ues, all the morbid tendencies of man kind. South Bend Times (Dem.) It is not anarchism as a politica doctrine that concerns the United States, but anarchism as an incite ment to violence and murder, ft is probable that we have laws now which if properly enforced, would reach the offenders who conspire to commit mur der and incite violence. Laws could and should be framed and enacted by congress and all the states increasing the penalties for crimes atteirpUd-4ip- on public officials, and incitement of such crimes, without in the least im pairing the constitutional guaranty of free speech. New Albany Ledger In the selection of Frank Martin as the warden of the state's prison a Michigan City the directors have hon ored. ft Reserving young man and vindicated themselves of the charge that the institution is being used for political purposes. Mr. Martin is a man of high character and attain ments, thoroughly acquainted with the public service arid of unimpeach able integrity. He is now deputy auditor of state, in which office he served a term in a clerical capacity and in this position he has command ed the respect aud personal regard of all with whom he has come in contact. It may well be hoped that he will ac cept the new appointment. The weekly reports of the world's markets contain much that is gratify ing to Americans. Formerly it was not so. The United States was a na tion of borrowers no more than six years ago and prices were made against her. "The London Stock Ex change, " said the financial critic of the Sunday Special this week, "has become so Americanized that I need scarcely refer to any but the American market. The others hardly exist." The supremacy in manufactures and agriculture won by this country and now admitted as a fact in every capital or Europe is not a mere mat ter of luck, nor does it come from any lethargic conditions abroad. It is due wholly and unquestionably to Ameri can legislation for Americans and it can easily be destroyed by reenacting the "Wilson-Gorman law. Not only has the city of Elkhart m m improved wonderfully in appearance during the past ten years, but there is also discernible a very marked change for the better in the tone of its society and its population in N general. Time was when shoddyism, the superficial and the unstable seemed to be charac teristic of the elements entering into the make up of the city, but all this has yielded to an air of substantial ness, solidity and reliability so highly appreciated in healthy social and com mercial circles. This change for the better, this transformation, is doubt less largely attributed to the materia advancement of the leading business enterprises of Elkhart, the weeding out and disappearance of pretentious but frail concerns, the persistent teachings of a high toned local press, and the influence quietly but none the less effectively exerted by the Century Club. Of all the social organizatio to which Northern Indiana towns and cities can point with pride, in the opinion of the writer the Century o Elkhart stands at the head of the list. It is pre-eminently intellectual. South Bend Times. Think of Winfield Scott Durbin maintaining that in the state of Hen ry Clay, John C. Breckenridge, John J. Crittendon, John G. Carlisle James E. Beck and Henry Watterson any -citizen accused of a capital crime cannot get a fair trial! Indianapolis Sentinel. Reflect also upon the fact that democratic judge of Kentucky said from the bench that there was no such thinsr as a fair trial for the men accused of Goebel's murder, tha Henry Watterson said the same in the Louisville Courier-Journal, that many democratic papers and democratic lawvers of Kentucky endorsed the statement and the trials themselves proved its truth. The renewed pre sentation of the requisition to Gover nor Durbin immediately after the assassination of President McKinley, accompanied by comparisons of the Goebel murder with that of the Presi dent, indicate a depth of political de pravity in the state of Kentucky such as has not hitherto been suspected. The Goebelltes," who have been exco riated by papers of their own party and in their own state fully as much as by republicans, are , the first to seek political capital in the great tragedy at Buffalo. BULLFIGHT WITH AUTO MOBILE CRITICISED The French Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Animals, which so often has successfully opposed bull fights in France during past years, is w girding up its loins preparatory to renewing the struggle, fearing a repetition of Sunday's cruel scene ut Bayonne, w here the bull was attacked by matadors riding in a modern twelve-horse-power automobile. M. Deutsch, president of the Aero club, presided at the bull fight. The use of an automobile for such purpose becomes the subject of harsh comment in Paris, since sportsmen agree that an automobile does not add to the sportsmanlike element of tha conflict and merely panders to the morbidly cruel taste of the spectators. On the other hand, partisans of the bull-fighters declare that the innova tion of the automobile is an excellent thing, since if automobilists grow in terested in the institution bull-fighting will surely become a favorite sport with many influential persons in France. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals purposes to ad dress a memorial on the subject to Premier Waldeck-rvousseau, also cal ling attention to the fact that "Sport club" of Tananirivo, Madagascar, has just organized a series of bull fights under the official patronage of mem bers of the colonial government and proposes to establish the sport in that colony permanently. As a matter of fact, Sunday's trial of bull fighting with an automobile at Bayonne was a failure, since the bull fled from the flying wheels and the automobile was unable to maneuver properly. The bull once attacked the automobile with his horns, but the wheels being covered with iron armor the beast was overthrown. The spec tators also witnessed the horrible sight of the bull being jammed between the automobile and the side of the arena. At another time they saw the buirs foot caught in the hind wheel and the animal dragged ten yards, helpless, in the dust. Fair-minded persons who witnessed the exhibition declare that the entire sight was sickening, but the orgi izers assert that it was a success and announce a repetition of it in the near future ROOSEVELT WILL DEAL WITH TRUSTS IN MESSAGE ANARCHY'S OBJECTION to AMERICAN OPPORTUNITY Tears Amid Smiles. Few who witnessed the excellent and vivacious performance of Bettina, the turkev keeper, as given by Miss Frances Wilson in the Beggar Prince last night, knew that her heart was breaking and that her eves were suf fused with tears because of a great sorrow that had come upon her. Yes terday she was informed by telegraph that her mother had just passed away at the old home in New Hampshire. The brave little woman, though al most overcome with anguish, went on with her part and worked as con scientiously to entertain the audience as she ever did. . The Lafayette Courier sounds a note of warning to Indianapolis republicans who are not up and doing in the pre sent municipal campaign to compass the election of Book waiter. Says the Courier: 'The capital city of Indiana does not belong in the democratic camp, and republicans who contribute in any way to that are neglectful of the interests of the city and state.' The South Bend Tribune and the Kensselaer Journal have .already spoken along similar lines, and for that matter so has the great body of the republican press throughout the state, showing that a close eye is be ing kept on matters at the state capi tal, and that the party at large will not assist in forwarding local repub licans unless they give Indianapolis a republican administration.

Follow ing the ceremony the guests were in vited to partake of a bountiful supper prepared by the hride. (Washington Special) The question of trusts will be again brought up in the next congress. The Sherman anti-trust law is not broad enough to deal with the gigantic com binations of capital which have re cently been formed. President Mc Kinley recommended this subject as one for careful consideration by con gress, and the house passed an amend ment to the Sherman act. On the last day of the senate this amendment, which had been the subject of much debate, was re-committed to the com mittee on judiciary. That ended the effort in regard to trust legislation by the Fifty-Sixth Congress. President Roosevelt is on record as savinor in his speech at St. Paul on j 0 - A Sept. 2: "It is not onlv highly desirable, but necessary, mat tnere snouia De legis lation which shall carefully shield the interests of wacre workers and which shall discriminate in favor ofthe hon est and humane employer by removing the disadvantage under which he w-.w - tj stands when compared with unscrupu lous competitors who have no con science and will do risrht only under fear of punishment. Nor can legisla tion stop only with what are termed labor Questions. The vast individual A and corporate fortunes, the vast com binat ions of capital which have marked the development of our industrial sys tem, create new conditions and he cessitate a change from the old atti tude of the state and the nation to ward property. " President Roosevelt was conserva tive in that declaration, and yet there was the suggestion of radical methods of meeting the difficulties presented by the vast combinations of capital. The President will no doubt discuss this question more in detail in his message to congress, but he will not prepare that part of his message with out considering the question from the legal point of view and after carefu investigation by the department o justice. The attorney general will no dout prepare a legral opinion on the scope of the Shejman anti-trust act and what amendments would make it effective to prevent monopoly withou crippling American industry. Attorney General Knox is under stood to be preparing such an opinion for the President, and it might be said here that, while 31 r. Knox was for many vears an attorney for the Carnegie company, he disposed of al his interests in one of the corporations absorbed by the steel trust before the combination-was effected, and aid so at a sacrifice of about $30,000 in the price paid to him for his stock. He did this because he had decided to ac cent President McKinley 's -offer of a place in his cabinet as attorney gen eral and wished to be absolutely free from corporate influence after becom- y an official of the federal govern ment. Attorney General Knox will asssist the Paesident to reach an opin ion regarding trust legislation that will be practical and at the same time leral. There has been some criticism of the department of justice because It has not proceeded against the steel trust as in violation of the anti-trust law, but the incorporators of the steel trust keep themselves within the law and the decision of the supreme court in the case against the sugar trust. The court decided against the government in that case, and that de- mm i cision woum also oeciae any suit brought against the steel trust, for it is only monopolistic in production, not in commerce, to interfere with interstate or foreign commerce. The lawyers in the department of justice have carefully studied the charter of the steel trust, and they find that any suit that might be begun under the anti-trust law would be decided against the government on the same points decided adversely in the case (St. Louis Globe Democrat) The republican party has suffered more from tne assassination ot its eaders called to the highest station :han any other ever formed. In look -ng back over the line of martyrs, the listorian will be struck by the fact :hat all three, Lincoln, Garfield arid McKinley, were sons of poverty who rose to eminence through the recog nition of great qualities by their fel low citizens. Lincoln was so poor 1 that he had to educate himself; Gar field paid for his education by manual la'oor on the towpath and elsewhere; McKinley came from a long line of toilers, was too poor to obtain a col lege cour.se.and was compelled at an early age to earn his bread. All these men, great by nature's birth right though born in poverty, fell by the pistols of assassin's. In a speech last week on these martys of Ameri can history, Gen. Grosvenor said: "The great men of today in politics, at the bar, on the bench, in the great railroad organizations of the country, in the mighty industrial field of our tremendous success, and in all the vast world of effort, mental and phy sical, in the United States, the men of grandeur, wealth and leadership, have come up from the humble walks of American boyhood. " Every observer of American affairs knows that,, nine times in ten, the leading men in the country were originally poor boys. What, then, is anarchism trying to accom plish by the assassination of those called to the post of highest responsi bility in the United States? Would they kill the spark of ambition in chil dren bom to poverty and bid them follow the example of Czolgosz, whose sole object was to destroy and murder? The common people, the toilers them selves, are the chief victims of anar chists, who object to American oppor tunity and the rise of any man to a higher station. There is something so demoniac in anarchism that it ap peals to the mind by its possibilities of human depravity. The poor are the last who should listen to or toler ate it, for it substitutes malignant hate for the spirit of emulation and cheerful obedience to nature's law of labor. stricken nation we are at the loss of our comrade and one of the kindest and best-beloved and greatest presi dents the country has ever had. The death of President McKinley is mourned here in Washington as that of no man has ever been. It seems like a personal loss to every one here, where he was known so well and was beloved by every one. He perhaps is the last of our soldier presidents." Tfaatrd, 1O0O Ladies.

That there should be room for discovery of an island in the sea of Japan at this time of day seems hardly credible. It would almost be as'much expected to make a dis covery of the kind in the Caribbean gea. Yet, according to the Xichi Nichi, a Japanese paper regarded as reliable, it appears that an island was discovered at a point between TJl-long-do, island of Korea, and the Oki archipelago, about 30 miles off. No maps heretofore have the island referred to. It is described as two miles long and about the same in width. Trees and grass are there, and it contains many inlets, affording good anchorage. The island was discovered by a fisherman about a year ago, he finding the waters about it fairly alive with sea horses. The new island is called Yanko by the fishermen of Japan and Korea.
