THE DEMOCRAT EVERY THURSDAY MORNING BY LEW O. ELUNGHAM. Publisher. PER YEAR IN ADVANCE. Entered at the pesto (flee at Decatur. Indiana as second-class mail matter. OFFICIAL PAPER OF ADAMS COUNTY. THURSDAY, JUNE 13. Senator Depew is booming McKinley for a third term. Governor Durbin has issued a proclamation naming Friday as flag day. The Carter H. Harrison league of Chicago, succeeds what has formerly lieen known as the W. J. Bryan League. President McKinley squarely declines a third nomination to the high office he is now occupying. This leaves a clear field for Hanna, that is practically so. J. Pierpont Morgan besides owning a good slice of the railroad world is now reported to be arranging the establishment of an Anglo-American bank, with a billion dollars capital. The headquarters for rural free mail delivery will remain in Indianapolis, much to the satisfaction of every one interested in the welfare and further development of free rural mail. The Texas authorities are after the beer trust with a red hot poker, claiming a grievance amounting to $6,600,000. They complain of a combination and do not propose to stand for it. Cy Davis the minority leader during the last session of the legislature, has announced his intention of being a candidate for congress, and will oppose Congressman Miers for the nomination. The Cubans have finally consented and the Platt plan of governing that possession will be unwillingly accepted. The Cubans have been busy for many weeks throwing huge bouquet at this government, and as a last resort they eat their own words and subscribe to the doctiine they opposed. The dividends of the Standard Oil Company in the past ten years amounts to 5276.t100.000, says the South Bend Times. This means that in the past ten vears the profits of this institution amounts to three times the capitalized stock of the company. While Hanna has not been heard from lately, yet we presume he has not heard that such a thing as a trust is in existence at the present time.

Cabinet makers are again at work, their latest production being that Secretary of State Hay. to resign on account of ill health, to be succeeded by Charles Emorv Smith, PostmasterGeneral Mr. Smith, to be succeeded by George Cortelyou: Gov. Allen of Porto Rico, to succeed Secretary of Novy Long, who, it is asserted, has been eager to leave the cabinet for some time. The authors of these prognostications state that none of the gentlemen concerned will either deny or confirm them.

Mayor Taggart is quoted in a St. Louis paper as follows; “I believe I have the confidence of Col. Bryan. I certainly admire him greatly. He is an ,able man, maybe the ablest in his party, but I think he should stand aside now at least, for another four years. * * * Col. Watterson voices my sentiments. The Kansas Citv platform was all right in its time, and Col. Bryan was the embodiment of the platform, but conditions have changed, and the partj’ must change with them. Like the man in business, we must keep up to date. 1 can conceive of no conditions that could make the Kansas City platform acceptable in 1904 or that would make Col. Bryan the party s nominee in that year." There is one man in the state of Indiana who made it pay to dabble in politics, hi 1885 he was appointed internal revenue collector by Cleveland and served four years. Then he was twice elected state auditor, serving an other four years. Both offices were highly lucrative ones. They netted him a nice little fortune, judicious investments added largely to his wealth. He believed in enjoying the fruits of his efforts, so, about three years ago he took his family to Europe, where they have had a must delightful time. In a few weeks they will return to Indianapolis, which city is to be their permanent home. The name of this one lucky individual « ho profited by going into politics is John Oscar Henderson, one of the owners of the Kokomo Dispatch. — South Bend Times. It appears to be definitely settled that Representative Richardson of Tennessee is to be a candidate for the position of leader of the democratic minority of the fifty-seventh congress. A local newspaper known to be very friendly to Mr. Richardson has just published conspicuously an article to the effect tha Mr. Richardson will have no opposition in the democratic caucus. This is hardly an accurate forecast if surface indications count for anything. There is a great deal of opposition to Mr. Richardson's continuance as leader of the minority. Just how it is likely to manifest itself is not clear at this time, but the plan of organizing a steering committee to be composed of nine of the best known democrats of the house ,vho shall decide upon policies and name men to lead party fights on the floor has been received with so much favor that it is likely to be adopted. Under any circumstances there will be opposition to naming Mr. Richardson as the candidate of the caucus for speaker, which honor carries the implied title of ‘‘leader of the minority." His leadership during the fifty-sixth congress was not satisfactory to scores of democratic members. He was not aggressive enough to suit them.

The constitution has stood some hard knocks in the past from partisan decisions of the United States supreme court, and it will stand the extraordinary and contradictory decisions handed down in the insular cases. Although for the time these decisions give the administration a free hand in carrv itig out its imperialistic colonial policy, thev will doubtless make enough democratic votes among the seriousminded. who believe congress to be the creature of the constitution, instead of the constitution being the football of congress, as the principal one of these decisions practically holds it to be, to elect the next president. There is not the slightest doubt that a majority a vast majority—of the people of this country

regard the constitution as the best protection of their liberties, and to doubt that thev will resent its being juggled with in order to meet the exigencies of the McKinley administration is to doubt their intelligence. Democrats, of course, regret that this decision was made, but they fiud consolation in the Itelief that it will result in hastening the return to power of the democratic party, which has ever been the defender of the constitution and believer in its strict construction. And now conies one Grosvenor of Ohio, and deposeth and saith that George Washington was nothing but a cheap politician, and that he invented the “fiction" that presidents of this republic should have no third terms simplv because he feared defeat. He adds, does Grosvenor, that Win. McKinley is the only real thing in the patriot and statesman line that ever came up the highway, and that the dear public should freeze onto William, jamb the crown down tight over his ears, and nail him to the presidential chair for a third term. Grosvenor is just about the right size to throw mud at the memory of Washington, but his close relation to the president makes his estimate of McKinley and his views as to a third term of very great significance just at present.

I always use the formal printed service of the prayer book. In this the greatest stickler is 'obey.' One day a couple came to me. bringing as witnesses the parents of both bride and groom. Everything proceeded smoothly to the point ‘love, honor and obey,’ when the bride refused to say the last. I repeated it and waited. Again she refused, and I shut up my book. “Then there was a scene. They talked it over, and the more seriously they argued and discussed the more stubbornly she refused. The parents became angry, the groom excited and the bride hysterical. To humor her, he joined in the request to have me leave it out. But I liked the fellow and decided that a little sternness from me In the present might be a favor to him in the future. So I told them I had no authority to change it and would not do so. I tried to show the foolishness of her objection, but it was no use. "Finally I said to him: ‘Well, this household must have a head somewhere. I will leave it out for her if you will say it.’ Then it was his time to refuse, which he did. He gathered up his hat and started for the door, when, presto change, she sprang after him. led him back by the hand, looked meekly up at him and said it.” MARKETS. CORRECTED BY HA C, L.
