Indian-'

apolis .News, who lvsiuiied not hmgj ago in I h'I'i11111• ussisiiiin jitior oy in a! bank receivership ai l'.uston. lias come Lin ok lo Washington to accept the clerkship of ihc scnale coniiniilee on bliildiuii.s ami grounds. Senator Kairbauks is chairman of this committee, and iho appointment is his own. It is stated that Air. .Matthews is to accompany Senator Fairbanks to lndi unapolis it the close of the session and enter his law oilier, but there aro incredulous persons who affoel to belliove that Mr. .Matthews will not study much law between this lime and the national Republican convention in lOU-1. not lo mention the Republican senatorial caucus in Indiana two years hence, ".ferry" Matthews was for some time editor of country papers ill Illinois and Indiana, but says that he found the strain of changing his politics every time ho changed papers too much for liini. and driftcu into Chicago, where lie achieved such success that lie was soon representing' the Record hero. Later he took on the Indianapolis News, and had become a general favorite among the newspaper correspondents when he accepted the Boston appointment. It is suspected that Mr. Matthews' mission is to continue to make himself agreeable to the cor-'! respondents and newspaper men genorally, in connection with the prospective candidacy of Senator l'airbanks for tile presidency.

Senator ltcveridge has made a valuable acquisition in Ruben K. Mansfiefd of Marion, who had charue of the Epealcing bureau of the Republican state committee last year, and was: secretary of the committee under! Gowdy. Mr. Manslield lias resigned us consul to Zanzibar. Africa, to become private secretary lo the junior senator. He luis a larger personal acquaintance with Indiana politicians, probably, tliau anv other man of his aire in thei

state, lie also has tne advantage of being' a newspaper man. Mr. Mansfield is clerk of the committee on forest reservations and protection of game, ofwhich Mr. Beveridge is chairman. but will doubtless keep out of the woods so far as ihe political situation in Indiana is concerned.

Just at present Mr. Roosevelt in his ruthless pursuit of the mountain lion holds the center of the stage in the eyes of sportsmen but the greatest "big game" hunt ever projected was planned by Colonel t'ody, familiarly known as "Buffalo Hill," while in Washington recently. Assistant Attorney General Van Devnnter, an Indiana official, is to lie a member of the party, which will inc'ude Buffalo Bill, Senator Warren, Vice President Roosevelt, Colonel W. D. Pickett, the famous big game shot of the west Count Paul Liedy of Germany, and a few others.

"W. II. Elliot, formerly editor of the Newcastle Courier, has recently tiled liis report as commissioner of tlie interior for Porto Kico. He gives considerable attention to the troublesome question of land titles in the island. He states that lie lias delved far enough into the records to discover thnt it "great deal of manipulation, as •well as detective ingenuity will be needed to untangle the mass of cross titles, duplication and lapping of grants and concessions, and unauthorized occupation lands that have grown with centuries of rule in the interest of the favored few." The archives of the island were found in a disordered condition, and the system of recording titles is such that there will be endless confusion attendant upon the acquisition of real estate. Mr. Elliot emphasizes the need of roads, anil claims that their absence, as the result of centuries of Spanish governmental negligence, to use no harsher term, is the most: serious obstacle to the establishment of favorable industrial conditions in the island.

"Tom" Patterson, the new senator from Colorado, fs another Indianian to the front, and the second senator Crawfordsville has contributed to the trans-Mississippi country. Senator Wilson of Washington being the tirst. Patterson catne with his parents from Ireland to Montgomery county, learned the printer's trade there, and earned enough money to carry him through Depatnv, then Indiana Asbttry I'niversity. Depauw has been a p:otitic alma mater of statesmanship. Among the United States senators who graduated there were Booth of California, Harlan of Iowa and Beveridge and Voorliees of Indiana. McDonald was also a student at Greeueastle for a time. All these men may be listed in the self-made class. All pushed their way through college by their own individual exertions. Harlan, for In

stance. came to (ireenrn.itle without a dollar. Uv worked as a janitor during the greater portion of his collegecourse. and graduated in a caliei dressing gown. Beveridge sold books and Patterson set lype. The young li'ian who claims lie *s too poor to get an education has not a very good excuse.

Several representatives, says tin Washington Times, had been conversing about 'he death of iovernor Mount and it left Representative Page in a reminiscent mood. "I have never boot: in Indiana but once." he said, "am' that was several years ago. just pre vious to the election of President liar rison. There had been discoveries ol great iron deposits in our state, am' the development, of them promised immense things for the community. W were therefore natural protectionists and desired to present our claims ti recognition substantially to Ihe pros pcetive new head of the government With several others in a large delegation I traveled to Harrison's town. an we carried with us a great billet ol Minnesota iron ore, measuring about by by ."*. and weighing nearly a ton. It took the whole delegation lift it, bui we carried it into Harrison's yard and dumped it down, using it as a slump from which to niaki our congratulatory speeches. I shall never forgei the surprise which was on Harrison's face when we made our appearance with our gift. We left it with liiin. and 1 have heard that it is there yet. ..-5 -^.

Among 1 lie members of the Indiana delegation Senator Fairbanks perhaps felt inosi keenly the death of ex-Gover-nor .Mount. The governor was always ihe guest of the senior senatoi when in Washington, and their personal friendship dated back to the beginning of Mr. Fail-banks' poliiiea

career in Indiana. "Ievotion to duty.' said ihe senator, "a devotion which did not pertuii persona) comfort to be a consideration with him. was the key ,ii011 tit career vc.l in Govornoi -.)i''e:ity and I1011 more faithfully per1' g.jvi-. no: of In lave Mot-i.n's ophad his tenacity ol a'limated by thf the interesis of hi.prineiples of good

note of Covorno Every one belie Mourn** absolute. osty. No iii: 11 la.s fi'i-med the duties dinna. He did no portunity. but. lie purpose, and was same devotion to state, and to the government. Hi- nomination for tingovernorship in IS'!)'] was by many looked upon as accidental at the time, but before thai campaign had far progressed, ii might betler have been looked tip-in as providential.

He made a wond'-viiil campaign, ami everywhere his speeches added greatly to the strength of Th( Republican eausr in a pivotal state, lie rose from tlic ranks of labor, and by sheer force of character and devoti. to duty, pushed his way to a high place not only in official life, but in the esteem of those who had honored liiiu."

Iovernor Mount's name was linked with a prospective vacancy as secre tary of agriculture when Mr. Wilson talked of retiring 1. year ago. While it was not known that the governor would become even a receptive candidate. his eminent qualifications for the place worj generally recognized. The prospective selection of Mr. Harris as attorney general to succeed Mr. Griggs disposed of the prospects of any second Indiana 1111111 in the next McKinley cabinet. The physical strain which Governor Mount had undergone as governor was doubtless a factor in bringing about the announcement that he had retired from politics, and some of his friends here doubt if he would have left the retirement of his Indiana farm for the routine labor even of a enbinel office.

Mrs. Mary iliinn Cobb of Howard county is not, as has been stated in press dispatches, pensioned as a daughter (if a soldier of the Revolution, but as the widow of a soldier of the war of 1S1-J. She had remarried, which made necessary a special net before her name could lie restored to the pension roll after the death of her second husband. Such a bill was pushed through congress by Representative Steele two or three years ago. Mrs. Cobb is a daughter of a Revolutionary soldier, but there are several original daughters living in Indiana who have not found this sufficient title to a pen sion.

"Indiana is supposed, by the funny papers at least.'' said an official of the mail depredations division of the postoffice department, "to be the most fruitful tieid of the dealers in gold bricks and green goods. Wo have a pretty good chance of determining the location of the sucker belt in the United States, and, so far as my observation goes. Indiana is not the easiest commonwealth in the United States by a long way. You would be surprised to know that the green goods circular is still good for a few gudgeons a day. But this is only one of a thousand schemes for parting the public from its money without giving value received. Some of the sharks who work long distance games through the mails are possessed of a degree of clcverless which, exerted in a legitimate channel, ought to bring them success in a business way. One of them advertised not long ago to sell enough silk for 10 cents to make a waist. In return for the 10 cents thousands of people who wanted something for nothing got three yards of silk thread each—enough to makV? a silk waist. Hundreds of the victims spent 2 cents apiece telling their troubles to the government.
