THE DEMOCRAT ivm m.i.inixgby LEW 0. ELLIIWHAM. Publisher. »I,OU PER YEAR IN ADVANCE. Entered at the postoffice at Decatur. Indiana as second-class mall matter. OFFICIAL PAPER OF ADAMS COUNTY. THURSDAY. SEPT. 26. TO PAY THE PENALTY. It took eight hours and twenty-six minutes for the court and jury to hear the evidence and arguments and for the rendering of a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree against Leon F. Czolgosz. The first sitting of the court was at ten o’clock Monday, and Tuesday afternoon the verdict of first degree murder was given to the court. No evidence was submitted to the court by the defense, and the argument made by Judge L?wis for the defense will go down in history as a remarkable effort in giving a cold blooded murderer a fair and impartial trial. The presiding judge will sentence the prisoner some time today, and according to the laws ’ in New York the guilty wretch will be electrocuted, and that at an early day. The next duty is for congress to give us better protection from the. lawless anarchist. That they will do this is assured as the American people are aroused as never before. The meeting of the Northern Indiana Editorial Association is booked for Elkhart, today and tomorrow. The meeting promises to be most pleasant and enjovable. The latest from the postal depart ment at Washington promises free mail delivery at Portland at an eariv day. Decatur is almost in the list of eligibles and in another year will have passed the mark. The Adams County Agricultural Fair Association opened up on schedule time Tuesday, for which privilege they take off ther hats and bend their i knee to the roval nibs who presides over the moral destinies of the Berne Witness. The trial of Czolgosz begins in the "Erie county court Monday and is now about ready to grind out a verdict. The efforts of the Buffalo bar association to help rather than frustrate the aims of the law in giving the assassin all opportunity possible to defend himself, is commendable. A chemical examination of the bullets and revolver used by Czolgosz in perpetrating the bloody deed, failed to show any indications of poison. The i sanity of the prisoner has also been firmly established and his speedy conviction and electrocution is assured.

’ I The Chicago Chronicle makes the j bold assertion thaw “there is not Aft Anarchist in America today who * I net take his first lesson in anarchy ' at some socialistic shrine.’ 4 Hartford City promises to be the greatest glass center in existence. The establishment of another co-oper- ' ative window glass company makes j the combined capacity 216 pots, the greatest of any city in America. Let the wretch at Buffalo pay the penalty of his crime without delay. Let Emma Goldman and her stripe j 1 l>e dealt with sufficient severity. Let; Taylor and Finley return to meet their | accusers in the courts of Kentucky. I ' An<l let justice take her course.—Sen- i I tinel. If the republicans had developed j their love for the South during the , period of reconstruction the southern | people might be much better off than ; they are today. It has taken the re-1 publican party just thirty-five years ' to realize what the democratic parly i has always known: i. e.. that the south J is a part of the republic, entitled to all the benefits which accrue from I that relation. Sentinel. Congressman •■Jim" Watson of In-{ diana. wants one of the Philippine islands set apart as a home for an ' archists. who, he says, should be de-1 ported from this country as soon as , they declare themselves. There are a good many of us who don’t believe i in keeping the Philippine archipelago : ' who would be willing to bold on to a I part of it for this purpose.—Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. In his annual report to congress I next December Secretary Gage of the > 1 treasury department will recommend i ’ that an appropriation be made of size ' sufficient to enable the secret service . bureau to employ men for the sup-j pression of anarcny just as detectives ' ■ are now employed to run down coun- j terfeiters. The secretary, it is under-' stood, will ask for 5250,000 for the j maintenance of the bureau as against! •5100.000 which was appropriated lasti year. ________ The profesh certainly owe much to' Editor Rohrer of the Berne Witness for his sample copies of motherly ad-j vice, copiously administered without charge. It has been suggested that his religious and moral motives are slightly tainted with a fat print-' ing church contract Be that as it may. the Witness is moralitv personified. to hear them blow their bazoo. . Such tiding never reached us bv any ' other route however. Foremost men in the democratic! ' management say that no attempt to I , formulate national issues fur the cam j ■ paign of 1904 will be encouraged forl the present. They will await the re- . suits of the campaigns now on in (Ohio, Maryland. Virginia and Massachussetes. The results in those states ! may develop valuable data for deter-1 1 mining the trend of democratic senti- • ment among the masses. Another essential preliminary is to whip the republicans in UK 2 before the people | . for the control of the house of con- j greas. After that will be the better ■ time to make up a platform that will 1 reflect democratic opinions and win the united support of those who are antagonistic to the republican proI gram.

No change has been made in either the board or management of the northern prison. Thev held a meeting yesterday, but so far as the public knows nothing touching the manage-1 meat or control was discussed. Cui-i bert. who was charged with being in-: terested in prison contracts, makes a denial and there the matter rests. The Schley court of inquiry pro-, grosses without delay, and while the* navy department clique are laboring zealously to give him the worst of the investigation, yet we believe that u hen the inquiry finishes. the public' will be more familiar with the dirty j lot that holds forth at the navy! department. I ‘•lf all reports are true," the Elk- j hart Review says. •’Governor Durbin j was badly misled by some advisors; who counseled him on the appoint- ( ment to the Michigan City prism' board. The loss of Warden SLideler is a calamity, and it is said to have been the direct result of tne appoint- j ment." A good warden is essential to' good prison management. To run ; an institution like the Northern prison for personal or partisan purposes is pernicious South Bend Times. Jodge Wilson the principal counsel for Rear Admiral Schley, died suddenly Tuesday. He was a lawyer of unusual prominence, being counsel in the historic Star Route trials, the Holt will case, the Breckenridge-Pollard breach of premise case, the trial of j Capt. Howgate for embezzlement, the court martial proceedings against Gen. Swain, the Oberlin M. Carter case, and the Venezuela. Alabama. French spoliation and Li A bra Mexican claims cases. Over in Maryland the republicans . are really engaged in a forlorn hope. With Ex-Senator Gorman once more lin full command of the democratic, force*, and his own candidacy for the ! United States senate inv ired in the, i contest, it is realized that only a I ; miracle of politics can save the day to the republicans. But Mr. Gorman is i something of a magician and miracle worker himself and his followers are offering odds that be will be a hands down winner of the November stakes. The new ccngrewi convening in December prom..*es> to be one of the livieet of rwect trice*. The republican scant ma,wity of thirty nine will have to be kept well within the party corral. if the party program is to be carried forward with celerity and certainty. The democrats will have to keep close watch on the majority and get busy at every possible opportunity. At this next session they must develop ; the lines on which they will go to the ; country in 1902. While it is none of our cheese and •we do not have to cut it. vet the ; record in congress made by the Hon. James M. Robinson, entitles him to a renomination and a re-election. While in Washington he is a tireless worker, and instead of spending his time on drees parade ana bending his knee to the aristocratic circle that swoops down upon the ca pilot city at that time he is devoting his time and spending his energy in serving those who elected him to congress. His record there is certainly an enviable I one, and the net work of rural mail i routes is a testimonial to this fact. ; The democrats of Indiana outside of the twelfth district look upon Mr. i Robinson with a great deal of pride. He is a man of considerable statesmanship and worthy of any honor that m*y be conferred him,

FALL SUITS. OBODY means to buy poor clothes—certainly not, but a lot of them get worn out every year. Even poor stuff looks pretty good at first. Better not go by your own judgment, all one except as to style. Bettor trust us, not so much because our clothes aro better than usual—THEY ARE—but because we make them right if they go wrong.

To them wereliorn six children three sons and three daughters. Dallas. Jesse and Charles. Clara, Bertha and Nina. Dallas, Charles and Clara preceded their father to the spirit realm. Mr. Swartz was an energetic honored citizen, a loving com panion and good father. He was always faithful in the domestic duties of home and farm, which can lie readily seen at a glance over the fields, once a dense forest; as well as many other improvements on the farm. A little more than a year ago, from ( son e unknown cause he became deranged, and was taken to the East Haven hospital for medical treatment. ; He was visited by all members of the , family at various times, and always seemed cheerful and resigned. He would inquire about the home and the [ neighbors measurbly intelligent. The family were all anxious for his re- . coyery but the Great Ruler of all , things ordered otherwise and On the i iMh day of Sept. 1901, he departed , this life at the age of 50 years, 11 months and 18 days. There remains i to mourn their loss, a loving wife, one i son. two daughters, two brothers and a sister, and many sympathizing friends. Notice ot the French Tp. Fire Insurance Co.
