Miss Forney of Kansas is not unlike
other fathers' daughters neither is her
"ia" uulike other "pits." Her father
is a member of the legislature nnd she
ansa: "Whenever mi runs up against
anything he don't like be aits down nnd
writes a bill against it. We were going
1o church and a train across the road
kept ua waiting for half an hour and as
soon na pa got home be wrote a bill
against It. Our chickens were stolen
nnd pu immediately wrote a bill against
chicken thievea." If Misa Forney sup
poses her experience with her pa is dif-
ferent from other young ladies who have

THE MISSISSIPPI OVERFLOW.
Senator Vest has hit the nail on the
bead this time lie bus introduced a
resolution iuto the senate of the United
State to appoint a committee to examine
into the causes of the overflow of the
Mississippi river aud report to the next
congress. The resolution contemplates
an Investigation Into the destruction of
foresta at the headwaters of the father
of waters and all other causes producing
the overflow. Of course this ia pre.
liniinary to the introduction of a resold
tion to provide means by the United
States government to prevent this annual
overflow and such a resolution may go
further and authorise the goverumeut to
pay damages to those who have been iu
jured by this overflow.
This is a question that in all proba.
bility will assume national importance
and become one way or another for or
against It a plank in national party pint
forms. If the damage is caused by un-
necessary acta of those living at the
headwaters of the Mississippi river then
some one or some state or the federal
government becomes responsible in dam-
ages to the parties iu jured by the over-
flow. That ia a plain legal proposition
but if it is found that iu the usual course
of developing a country the forests have
been cut nwny at its headwaters and
that this fact is the cause of the over-
flow then while a legal right would not
bold an equitable right would at least
so far as for the federal government to
provide means to prevent the floods de-
scending into the Mississippi valley with
such destructive volume; or it might very
justly be claimed that the neglect of the
government to prevent these overflows
entailed its responsibility in damages to
those injured by the overflow.

JAl'AXKSK BLISTER ABOl'T THE
IIAWAIIAX ISLANDS.
Japan ia becoming rapidly quite a bel-
ligerant nation and shows rather a pre-
sumptions spirit in threatening to pitch
its caster into the ring and challenge the
United States for the possession of the
Sandwich islands. The jingoea of Japan
are under the Impression that the recent
rejection of Japanese immigrants by the
authorities in Hawaii is but the first step
in a plot to annex Hawaii to the United
Slates mid this seems to them to be
confirmed by this government sending
the wnr steamer Philadelphia to the port
of Honolulu and these anme jingoea are
urging the mikado to resent what they
term nn insult to Japan and an interfer-
ence with Japan In its assumed control
of the Pacific ocean and the islands
therein.
Iu the first place It la very unnecessary
for Japan to carry such a chip on its
shoulder. While the United States
would be very fur from acknowledging
the supremacy of Japan over the islands
of the Pacific and while this govern-
ment might Interfere to prevent Japan
from assuming any control of the Ha-
waiian islands this government as fur
us heard from Is not n party to any tie-
sign I lie Hawaiian! may have to uniiex
the islands to the United States and
therefore any bluster about it on the
part of Japan is simply ridiculous.
Japan doubtless is eager to distinguish
itself iu the new role it proposes to piny
in keeping pace with western civilization
but it bus not yet learned that the high
est western civilization does not encour-
age a warlike spirit. Nor do we think
Jupiin .can distinguish itself by warlike
bluster us soon as it can by the cultiva
tion of peaceful relations with western
nations and as far' as we understand
Japanese character this is much more
consonant with Hie peaceful natures of
its people. It will not do for Japan to
depend too much upon its war character
blnined III a conflict with the Chinese.
It would find n war with a western na
tion a very different tiling from a war
with an effete eastern nation such as
Chiilu and especially does it become Ja-
pan to bear itself with becoming dignity
and maintain peaceful relations with the
United States for it would find the
navies and armies of the United States
composed of very different material from
tlint of the arniiea uud navies of the em-
peror of China.
We do not believe the United Slates
will annex the Hawaiian islands nor do
we believe that this government would
permit Japan either to annex or take con-
trol of these islands and if Japan has
any audi designs it is highly proba hie
that the mikado would be taught a les
son by which he and his people would
thereafter profit and that is that the
greatness of Japan and its new position
among western nations would be ensured
more by peaceful than warlike means.
The Chicago Times-Herald says that
ltgeld'a explanation in regard to his
connection with the failure of the Globe
Savings bank of Chicago does not ex
plain. The Herald regards it as beg-
ging the question when Governor Alt-
geld appeals for leniency of treatment
because of the fact that the heaviest
losers by the failure of the bunk were his
personal intimate friends. That paper
says he merely contradicts the state
ments of the bank examiners in regard
to his responsibility and closes by say-
ing: "Mr. Altgeld's connection with
the defunct bank may not disclose an in-
dictable offense but it reveals official
negligence aud misconduct of a most
reckless and indefensible character."
We are not acquainted with the penal
code of Illinois but it should include in
it us indictable offenses such criminal
negligence as the Times-Herald does not
hesitate to declare Altgeld has been
guilty of. His plea for leniency because
some personal friends were losers does
not excuse him for using his political pop-
ularity with the masses of the working
men to influence them to deposit with n
bank where he gave them assurance that
he would protect their deposits.
Mr. Bayard's critics compliment him
rather than ridicule him by calling him
the "spoilt child of diplomacy" and
when they speak of his mission to Great
Britain as "on the sugar-plum basis"
Mr. Bayard thought best not to attempt
to play the bully and constantly be en
gaged in twisting the tail of the British
lion and if his diplomacy was as simple
as that of n child aud he used sugar
plums to win favor for his country as
well as himself with the Knglish people
his critics will not deny that he was enii
neutly successful.
Mr. Bayard may be neither a Talley
rand nor Metternich of diplomacy but
he behaved himself in such a dignified
and gentlemanly manner that before the
close of his official mission Great Britain
sought to make a permanent peace with
the country he represented. We opine
that sugar-plums would lie more success
ful iu bombarding Great Britain than
cannon balls and if Mr. Buyard chose
to use the former the wisdom of his
course has beeu demonstrated by the re
sult.
Our esteemed cotemporary the Nash
ville (Teuu.) Banner celebrates the open

ures by which the great exposition grew
into its uioguiticent proportions and
which have ensured it the promise of an
extraordinary success. The Banner also
prints the photos of the three presidents
of the Uuited States furnished by the

To Gain Fleah to Sleep Well to
Know What Appetite and Good
invention Mean Make a Teat
of Stuart's) Dyspepsia
Tablets.
IntereatliiK Experience of an In-
dlnnapollM Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think their nerves are
too blame and are surprised that they
are not :ured by nerve medicine nnd
spring remedies; the real seat of the mis-
chief is List sight of: the stomach is the
organ to lie looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach nor.
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not iu the stomach so much
as iu nearly every other organ; in some
coses the heart palpitates and is irregu-
lar; in others the kidneys are affected; in
others the Innvels are constipated with
headaches; still others tire troubled with
loss of tlesh and appetite with accumu-
lation of ens. sour risings and heartburn.
Mr. A. W. Sharper of No. til. Prospect
St.. Indianapolis. I ml. writes aa follows:
"A motive of pure gratitude prompts me
to write these few lines regarding the
new and valuable medicine Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. 1 have been n suf
ferer from nervous dyspepsia for the last
four years: have used various patent
medicines and other remedies without
any favorable result. They sometimes
gave temporary relief until the effects of
the medicine wore off. I attributed this
to my sedentary habits being a book-
keener with little physical exercise but
I am glad to state that the tablets have
overcome all these obstacles for I have
gained in flesh sleep better aud am bet
ter in every way. The above is written
not for notoriety but is based on actual
fact. Hospcctfully yours.
"A. W. SHARPER
"01 Prospect St. Indianapolis. Ind."
It is safe to say that Stuart's Dyspep
sia tablets will cure any stomach weak-
ness or disease except cancer of stomach.
They cure sour stomach gas loss of
Heah onu appetite sleeplessness palpi
tation heartburn constipation and head'
ache.

A CYLCLOMC FREAK.
It Picked I'p n Buggy nnd Cnrrled It
Over Tree Tops.
A reporter talking with Mr. Hugh
Wheat the East Sixth street grain man.
yesterday learned of a recent cyclone
trick in this vicinity.
He and his family went over to spend
the day ou Barton creek and during the
afternoon a small sine cyclone swept up
the vnllev. Mr. Wheat who went
through the Holland. Tex. cyclone heard
the roar of the coming storm and he and
his family sought refuge under the stone
bridge that spans Barton. His buggy
from which the horse hud been unhooked
had been left on top of the hill nnd the
cyclone picked it up bodily carried it over
the ton of the hie elms that line the creek.
and let it down into a deep pool of water.
the only injury to it being a broken bow
in the top.
Mr. Wheat's experience in the Holland
cyclone makes him shy of them and he
would much rather sell a thousand
bushels of corn any day than puss
through another.
FROM SUNDAY'S DAILY.
PAR SOX MOORE.
He nnd Hie Ebony Hued Wife Fired
Rack Into Durance Vile.
Tarson J. W. Moore ond wife mention
of whose arrest was made in The States-
man yesterday were remanded liack to
jail by Justice Johnson yesterday in de-
fault of bnil.
The evidence against the parson who
is possibly 22 or 23 years old. and as
black as black can be was very strong.
Lydia Lomnx who had her gold watch
ami chain a clock her family Bible and
other articles stolen was the chief wit-
ness. A couple of her books were found in
the parson's trunk and her Bible and
clock were recovered. The parson had
sold them and be was fully identified by
the gentleman to whom he sold them. He
nlso piously vouchsafed the information
to the gentleman that he was n full Hedg-
ed preacher looking after the spiritual
wellfarc of a Hock out on Twenty-fourth
street in the suburbs called A heatville.
The evidence was overwhelming and
in default of $200 bail each the parson
and his wife went to jail.
He is one of the "wandering stars"
spoken of in the long ago and there are
lots ot em now in the country la ni bast
ing the churches nnd beratimr the min.
istry. Parson Moore was a talker all
the "wandering stars" are and nothing
pleases 'em better than to tell their 'spori-
enees and harangue gaping congregations
while scheming to shear the sheep and
hook the suckers.
Congregations white and black should
watch out for "wandering stars" and
tne noiy or nones. '

find out what the governor expected him
to do.
The reporter asked him why he did
not make an effort to protect the negroes
from the mob. He said:
"Because I was eighteen miles awav
when the thing took place. I live a't
Hempstead and this particular night hit
eldest son was being married. Had I
beeu there I am pretty sure the lynching
would not have taken place. As it was
it was done and over before I knew anyl
thing about it. I have virtuullv been
sheriff of that county for the past teu
years and I think the people who know
me are willing to testify that I would
have prevented any such thing taking
place. I am quite sure that two of the
six lynched were perfectly innocent. But
I think the mob wanted to get rid of
them on account nf Rome cass comin
up soon in which they would appear as
witnesses. '
"Is there any reward offered for the
perpetrators of the lynching'"
"Yes; I have offered $150 for each and
everyone who are connected in any way
with the lynching." J
Mr. Lipscomb will leave for home this
evening. He would not tell the reporter
