The New York World almanac for 1902 prints a list of 3,(512 American millionaires, of whom (540 are in New York and still they want a ship subsidy to fatten upon. — Mn. N eely denies everything and according to his theories the embezzlement in Cuba was one of those crimes that committed itself, like the assassination of Goebel. That appears to be a peculiarity of republican lawlessness The democratic primary was a clean and honorable contest by tl.e various contestants, as a rule. No under handed work in electioneering was resorted to. and consec neatly all is peace and harmony. Our boys in the .south end were disappointed, in not winning the race, but they are net disheartened or ashamed of their vote at home. They are made of the mettle that defeat will not crush down. Geneva Herald. And now comes another aspirant for congressional honors in the Eighth district, in the person of Hon. Theo- i <lore Sbocknev, of Union City, his ' candidacy haring been recently an- ; nounced through the Union’ City Eagle. The McCollough faction are i certainly fighters aud are not going i to give up the ship until they have to, I which will very probably be after I Cromer has given them a gol ] trouncing. ;

The city primary will soon be on and a number of good citizens are already doing a little fence building with their eye on an office. Every city office must be filled this year and and all terms are for two years from now JS. The anti-Cromer faction are still fighting and have hopes, so they say .of defeating the gentleman. They have gone solidly to Dunlap of Anderso*. and some are really meanenough to think they can make Georgie “go ’way back aud sit down.” In another column of this page may be found a list of township officers nominated at the recent primary. They are all men of sterling worth who will look after the business of their office, however great or small, in a satisfactory manner. We are under obligations to Chairman McKean for the list. Adams county is coming to the front with good roads aud will soon be well improved in that line. Petitions for three stone roads in Blue Creek township ar« being prepared and the chances are the roads will all carry and will be built within the coming year. Nothing so advertises a county as first-class highways.

From every precinct in the county ■ come reports of the general satisfaction felt for the manner in which the ■ recent primary was conducted, and i the democrats have united in a har I monious way that means much for the ’ party and its future in the county. The ticket isa hummerandevery good democrat will fight for it from start to finish. The executive committee to be created by the democratic state committee will consist of two active working i democrats from each district. This ; would make the entire membership 26 a trifle large, but not too much so if those chosen will work in harmony. The advisory committee, which will do the greater part of managing the campaign, is to consist of fire members of the state organization. President Roosevelt is having trouble with some of tho republican senators in trying to convince them that it is their duty to work for some sort of action whereby Cuban products may be imported into our own country without the full payment of the Dingley tariff duties. It is to be a reciprocity arrangement. Roosevelt’s inclination is to send a special message to congress favoring such modifications. This some of bis friends are trying to prevent. They fear the president’s caustic pen may lead to party troubles. Their fears are well founded. South Bend Times.

The above list includes the names of the successful township officers in all but Jefferson and Kirkland, which we have been unable to secure. The reports are rather confusing and Mr. McKean informs us that there might lie errors in the list. If such is true and is reported to him within the next few days, he will gladly correct same. Only 2800 democratic votes were cast at the primary in wells county last Saturday, which is *IOO less than was cast here. The cause bv many is attributed to the short campaign, the interest not materializing as when a mouth longer is given. However, a strong ticket was nominated and an increased majority is a sure thing for this fall in Wells county. Cot. McCli re and Henry Watterson have planned the erection of a home for journalists to be located at Orange, New Jersey. It is to be a beautiful home, with all surroundings to make comfortable and happy the last days of poor old newspaper men. Contributions from Carnegie and other wealthy philantrophists have been asked for but now a much lietter plan has been hit upon by the League of Press Clubs, which will not only build but will likewise maintain the institution. Various methods have been discussed in this connection, but none of them seemed to be practicable until James S. McCartney of Philadel phia, conceived the idea of starting a magazine which would serve as a fitting monument to art and|literature in years to come. Bohemia was the title which be suggested, and sopopu lar was the suggustion that committees were immediately appointed and letters have been sent out to promi nent men and women asking assistance. Fully a thousand separate contribu tions have already been assured, and the new magazine, which is to appear in one edition of several hundred thousand copies only, is expected to isstie swn. Col. Watterson and Col. McClure will write for Bohemia characteristic articles of their experiences during the civil war. Admiral Dewey is also interested and has requested that he be allowed to contribute a chapter. Arrangements have been made for illustrating the volume, and for this purpose leading caricaturists and cartoonists in this country and in Franco and England have been so cured. The introductory article has already been written by Charles Em ory Smith. Such a publication will be very attractive.
