Fcstek Fletchkk announces as a Democratic candidate for county commissioner. Mr. Fletcher formerly reBided at Ne™ Market.
As
ykt
no one ha8 stepped forward
to charge Mark Banna with having
Bet
fire to the Kansas City convention hall. There is no doubt that Mark wa« the party who fired the place and why this silence continues is a mystery.
Thanks to me votes of Republican legislators and the signature of a Republican President, every dollar Yr. Bryan receives from his lecture tours and every dollar Coin Harvey secures from the sale of his books will be worth 100 cents.
A plan has been arranged by which the section of tree planting of the division of forestry will combine lecturing with its practical field work for the purpose of interesting the public 2n the subject. When an official of thiB section of the division is called to any portion ot the United States where planting is especially desirable, he will arrange for a series of meetings of land owners, to whom he will explain the objects of the division and the free assistance offered to those desirouB of making a trial of planting.
Tn* News-Review states that Dewey's declaration of his Democracy
Bhows
the drift of opinion just now. It certainly does. It has been the public opinion for some time that Mrs. Dewey is making a monkey of the admiral and is wearing the pants in that household. Dewey's declaration is confirmation of this opinion. Dewey states that tie has never yet voted and never wanted to vote for but one man and that man was Grover Cleveland. His lovo for Grover the Good will please the Democrats in this part of the country immensely, we don't think.
Thk Democratic paper* are strangely silent concerning ttij results of the elections held last week. Most of them were municipal elections and almost everywhere the Republicans made gains. It is true that local issues usually dominated, but then one cannot help rellecting that had there bean Democratic success the Democratic papers over the country would have declared the result "a rebuke" of Prseident McKinley. The only state election was that of Rhode Island and there national issues were contested. The Republicans made again of three assemblymen, making the new legisture 93 Republicans and 16 Democrats.
In Philadelphia last week a reporter called on Admiral Dewey and asked him to what party he belonged. He
referred the reporter to his wife who.,
gave the old man a punch and very graciously told him that he had a of his own. The admiral then blinked solemnly and said he "guessed he was a Democrat," but that if he wasn't nominated by that party he might run as an independent candidate. If there has been any doubt for the past three months of Admiral
Dewey's total ignorance of American politics, his weak vanity, and of his complete subserviency to the dssigning woman who has him under her thumb, the developments of the last few dajs will remove them. Poor Dewey'. He iB traveling tho road Marc Antony and many other illustrious warriors trod before him winning glory at the cannon's mouth to lose it by the unreasoning devotion to a woman. History presents few sadder spectacles than the toboggan slide of the illustrious sailor. But yesterday the
deBire
of Dewey might have
stood against the world, but now he sits simpering there and none so poor to do him reverence.
Tiih Deering harvester company, of Chicago, has applied to the division of forestry for a working plan for its 54,000-acre tract of hardwood timber *in southeastern Missouri. This marks what is probably the first attempt of an American manufacturing establish w-'-ment to employ modern forest meth oda in raising hardwood timber for its own use.
The timber owned by the company consists chiefly of oak, ash, and hick ory, woods especially adapted to the manufacture of agricultural imple mentb. The owners intend to remove all the lesa valuable BpecieB, such as cottonwood, gum, honey locust, and cypreBB, BO as to give the otherB all possible advantage for growiu. A plan will to aade by which the merchant
able timber may be removed without injury to the producing power of the forest. The division will send experts to the tract to make the observations necessary for such a plan.
In connection with the "open door" policy in China, established through the efforts of Secretary Hay and this administration, it is interesting to note what Secretary of Agriculture Wilson said recently in an interview: "Anything produced in the United States will now permanently find its way into all parts of the Celestial-em-pire. Our trade relations there in the future are secured. The trade in cotton goods hBS been very heavy in Mancheria and other northern provinces. Our intereBtB generally, our dairy, poultry, and other products from the farmB of the United States now have assurance of permanent markets in all the provinces throughout the Chinese empire where such things are in demand, and this demand is growing and will continue to grow. The work of Secretary Hay in this regard supplements and compliments the work of our army and navy."
TIIE MEANING OF EXPANSION.
New York Tribtme: After a time "the Dlain people" will catch the idea that expansion means prosperity for them, not for the trusts or multimillionaires or the seekers of fat offices. The islands will be particularly stony soil for any such industry, at least for some years to come, because popular feeliDg about them has been incomparably stronger, more keenly critical and quickly roused than it ever was regarding any other territory or new possession. But the fruit of expansion will be more sure supremacy of this country in the world's money market, greater balances pay-i able yearly to American producers, larger employment and bettor wages for American labor, and vastly increased opportunities for the legitimate and profitable U6e of American capital. Many persons still question this, but it is only because they have not considered with sufficient care the new conditions. Without American enterprise or labor or capital, tuppressed in every energy and industry for centuries j,by Spanish rule, these islands have already bought from other countries products worth over 8100,000,000 in»a year, and have exported toajother countries products still morejvaluable. Every month men have been counting it a great thing for this country that its exports have bean rising above 8100,000,000 and exceeding purchases from other countries by §40,000,000 or 850,000,000. Part of this change already realized is because exportsjfrom this country to the islands are larger by some millions than theyjever were before. In seven months ending iwith January exports of domestic umerchandise alone to the islands were 825,450,340 in value, against 814,333,435 in the same months of the previous,'year, and yet the exports in that iprevious year were more than 831,000,000 in value and from tins country greater than in any other year on record, (though as yet not a third of the value which the islands have purchasedtifrom all other countries.
What "doeB «this increase of over 811,000,000 sin seven months—nearly 820,000,000 a year—mean for the people of this country? A greater demand for their products, a greater and permanent demand for their labor, an in-
sum(?lont
to support forty thou J'
an very more}|worker& 6r a smaller num-
and
ber with higher skill and better wages But that is Ecarcely a beginning. The islands are not yet buying a third of the goods in value they bought a few years ago. When it i's considered that they are all prostrated in their iudustries, just relieved from Spanish rule and the devastations of war, and have not yet recovered their former productiveness and purchasing power, the increase of 820,COO,000 promises several times as much, and yet it is already largej enough to count on the right side in the international exchanges which fix the position of the
United States as a debtor or a creditor nation. But as yet these islands have scarcely felt the touch of American enterprise and capital in developing their resources.

Cuba is about the size of Pennsylvania, and of its thirty-five million acres only two million have ever been cultivated. Even its thirteen million acres of primeval forests are mines of wealth, while no one can guess ho-.v extensive are its mineral deposits, of which only two sent to this country nearly all of the 550,000 tons of iron ore imported in seven months ending with January. Puerto Rico is about three times the size of Rhode Island, and yet so undeveloped that not third of its area can be reached by roadB available for profitable industry. The Philippines have an area nearly three times that of New York, and so rich that instead of about seven million inhabitants it is stated that they could support as many as Japan, over forty-two millions. When American enterprise and capital begin to develop the enormoue resources of these isl ands, to establish profitable industries there and gather in a largely increased laboring force, who can gaess what
their trade will be worth to this country Democracy has set itself against expansion, and demands for all the new possessions and their populationssavage or civilized, white or black or much mixed—entire independence and' self-government. Under such conditions American capital and labor will not take the risk of Centi-al American vagaries in government, and the enormous expansion of our foreign trade which the full development of the islands would produce must be indefinitely deferred. To Americans that meanB work for many thousand fewer people at home, not to speak of the thousands who would go the islands and take part in their development if assured of American stability and freedom of government. Capital is not in a hurry to find investment in a country where a man can be locked up on a false complaint by any one who can bribe a native judge. Labor is not in haste to seek jobs where neither law nor peace iB secured. Democracy warns both labor and capital to wait lest its success in coming elections should quickly turn over control of these rich islands to Tagal despots, Malay savages, Puerto Rico negroes and mixed races, and Cuban demagogues. .k
COL. JAMES S. DODGE
WHOSE ARMY EXPERIENCE COMPRISES A BRILLIANT CHAPTER IN HIS HISTORY.
Comes Into the Political Arena For Gubernatorial Honors With a Record of Party Service Widely Recognized—Active In G. A. R. Affairs.
In the present campaign for the gubernatorial nomination Col. James 8. Dodge of Elkhart stands forth peculiarly as the soldier's candidate, a position he is entitled to by his splendid war record and his prominence in Grand Army affairs, but it is not among the old soldiers alone that his Btrength lies. He has friends in Indiana wherever he has personal acquaintance, and state.
that is all over the
James Shaw Dodge Is descended from ancestry noted for steadfastness of purpose and sterling worth. On his father's side the stock was Scotch, earnest, genuine, reliable, while his mother was descendant of the pious, benevolent Pennsylvania Quakers, and was a Quakeress herself. He was born Aug. 24, 1846, in Morrow county, Ohio, one of the five children of Charles and Malissa Shaw Dodge. Two years later the family removed to Elkhart county, Ind., and settled on a farm. His mother died when he was 4 years old and his father when hfe was 10. For the seven following years be lived with relatives in Ohio, working on a farm and obtaining the rudiments of an education in the common schools. In June, 18G3, two months before reaching the age of 17, he enlisted as a recruit in the 3d Ohio cavalry. Young Dodge reached his command in the field near Chattanooga only two days before the des-

Snake Creek Gap, Buzzard's Roost, Resaca, Peach Tree Creek, Atlanta and other historic fields found him among the fighters, lie was with Kirlcpatrick 011 his famous raid in the campaign of Atlanta, and with Thomas in the battle of Nashville and the pursuit of Gen. Iiood southward. He was at Selma, Ala., and Columbus, Ga., aiding in the liberhting of the last of the Union prisoners of Andersonville and In the capture of Jefferson Davis when fleeing in disguise. When the last battle had been fought and the last rebel army had surrendered, he was mustered out at Nashville with the rank of orderly sergeant, which he had held during the closing year of the war. lie returned to Elkhart in
September, 18G3, attended the high school for a few months, in order to qualify himself for teaching, then taught a district school during the two winters next ensuing, and studied medicine in the, summer with Dr. Haggerty. In the fall of 1867 he entered the University of Michigan, where he pursued a professional course for two years, attending the lectures and receiving his diploma as a doctor of medicine In 1869.

ed to Bristol, in the same county, continuing to'practice medicine and surgery until 1884. Two years before that time it became evident to him that he would be obliged to abandon the practice on account of the recurrence of rheumatism, which he had contracted while in the army of Gravely Springs, in 18G4. He thereupon began to study law, and in 1S84 was prepared to accept clients instead of patients. On his admission to the bar In that year he returned to Elkhart, which has been his home ever since. He later graduated at the University of Notre Dame with the degree of L.L. M. He is a strong lawyer and a forceful advocate.

Just How the Stairs Ran.
A lawyer was cross-questioning an Irish woman, the point under inquiry beinf?: the relative position of the doors, windows and so forth in a house in which a certain transaction was said to have occurred. "And now, my good woman," the lawyer said, "will you ho good enough to tell the court how the stairs run in your house." "How do the stairs run?" the witness replied. "Shure, whin I'm opistairs they" run down and whin I'm down stairs they run opp."
"Turkey Ouoeu" of Texa*
Miss Anita Martin is known throughout Texas as the "turkey queen" on account of the many turkeys which she has raised on hei ranch in that state. So great has been the increase in Miss Martin's business since she started with her four turkeys five years since that she now employs two women and a boy to help take care of her 100 stock birds. Miss Martin sells her turkeys to regular customers, and claims to have cleared ?2,50C in a year. The most expensive birds are those which feed on nuts andothei fancy foods, which renders their flesli sweeter and more palatable. All the eggs are hatched by incubators, and the food which the turkeys eat ara grown on the ranch, thus saving much expense.
Yversion to Tliat Also.
Lord Wolseley, Lord Roberts' and Sir Evelyn Wood have all written considerably for the press. Sir Redvers Buller has never written anything but dispatches to the war office, and shows his aversion to any other channels of publicity.
The 15est Hemedy for IJlieumatisin. IJU1CK KKMEF FROM l'AIN. All who use Chamberlain's Pain Balm for rheumatism are delighted with the quick relief from pain which it affords. When speaking of this Mr. N. Sinks, of Troy, Ohio, says: "Some time ago had a severe attack of rheumatism in my arm and shoulder. I tried numerous remedies but got no relief until 1 was recommended by Messrs. Geo. F. Parsons & Co., druggists of this place, to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. They recommended it so highly that I bought a bottle. I was soon relieved of all pain. I have since recommended this liniment to many of my friends, who agree with me that it is the best remedy for muscular rheumatisfn in the market." For sale by Nye A Booe, drag gists.
Is due to an acid poison which gains access to the blood through failure of the proper organs to carry off and keep the system clear of all morbid, effete matter. This poison through the general circulation is deposited in the joints, muscles and nerves, causing the most intense pain
Rheumatism may attack with such suddenness and severity as to make within a few days a healthy,! active pterson helpless and bed-ridden, with distorted limbs and shattered nerves or it may be slow inP developing, with slight wandering pains, just severe enough to make one feel uncomfortable the tenj dency in such cases is to grow worse, and finally become chronic.
Like other blood diseases, Rheumatism is often inherited, and exposure to damp or cold, want of propeij food, insufficient clothing, or anything calculated to impair the health, will frequently cause it to develoj in early life, but more often not until middle age or later. In whatever form, whether acute or chronic

and no liniment or other external treatment can reach the trouble. Neither do the preparations of potash and mercury, and the various mineral salts, which the doctors always prescribe, cure Rheumatism, but ruin the digestion and break down the constitution.
A remedy which builds up the general health and at the same time rids the system of the poison iJ the only safe and certain cure for Rheumatism. S. S. S., made of roots, herbs and barks of wonderful
solvent, purifying properties, attacks the disease in the right way, and in the right place—the blood—and quickly neutralize^ the acid and dissolves all prisonous deposits, stimulates and reinforces the overworked, worn-out organs, and clears the systen of all unhealthy accumulations. S. S. S. cures permanently and thoroughly, and keeps the blood in a pure, healthy state.
Mr. J. O. Malley, 123 istta Street, Indianapolis, Ind., for eighteen months was so terribly afflicted with Rheumatism he was unable to feed or dress himself. Doctors said his case was hopeless. He had tried fifty-two prescriptions that friends had given him, without the slightest relief. A few bottles of S. S. S. cured tiim permanently, and he has never had a rheumatic pain since. This was five years ago.
We will send free our special book on Rheumatism, which should be in the hands of every sufferer from this torturing disease. Our physicians have made blood and skin diseases a life study, and will give you any information or advice wanted, so write them fully and freely about your case.
