They want a soldiers' home at Manilla at a cost of $500,000. Soon there will be similiar calls from Cuba, Porto Rico and elsewhere. Soldiers’ ceme- ■ teries all over the world are testifying ito another phase of the cost of imperialism. A friendly battle is the democratic primary now on in Decatur, and while each candidate is doing his utmost for his individual success it is in such a manner that creates harmony and makes it possible for the ranks to work shoulder to shoulder at the city elec tion. Chairman McKean of the countv central committee has issued a call for a meeting of that organization to be held at Mieber’s hall in this city Saturday. March 1. At that time the old committee will close up their bus iness and the new will organize, elect officers, and attend to such other business as may be brought before them. The Indianapolis News of last Saturday cottained a several column write-up of that leader of Indiana journalists, John B. Stoll,of the South Bend Tinies, describing his life from the days of his barefootednoss to the ownership of one of the liest newspaper plants in the country. The article contains inspiration for every young man.

’ The postmaster fight has bobbed up this week with a little more interest than ever before and various rumors of the lucky individual have reached our ears. However they are : without foundation as we are reliably informed by those in a position to ( know that the selection has not yet been made. Mr. Andrews term of office expires this month and the name of the new P. M. will no doubt be forthcoming within a few days. The South Bend Times is authority for the statement that Joseph Reiley, iof Indianapolis, has practically been | decided upon by Democratic State j Chairman O’Brien for theappointment • of secretary of the democratic state ■committee. Mr. Reiley has served : several years in that capacity aud understands the ins and outs of state politics thoroughly. One thing certain, he will not run his part of the committee with a brass baud. He knows enough to keep his own counsel. and the secrets of the staie committee will not be divulged to the opposition party. Wherever Mr. ■ Reiley is known his appointment will {give entire satisfaction. Plymouth ! Democrat. Chairman O’Brien of thedemocratic state committee has named W. W. I Spencer of Indianapolis to represent i the democrats in all pre-election disputes. At every election several cases arise where there is a dispute as to the time of the expiration of certain offi cers’terms, and it has always been customary for the two parties to settle such differences by referring the mat ter to two lawyers from either side in order to avoid al) litigation. It is for this duty that Mr. Spencer has been selected as his familiarity with the election laws makes him very valuable for such work. Chairman Goodrich, of the republican committee has not yet named anyone to meet with Mr. Spencer, but will do so in a few days. There are probably half a dozen such disputes to settle. The Indianapolis Independent puts it this wav: Brave old Dewey is alloted no share in the ceremony attending the welcoming of Prince Henry. There are obvious reasons why he should not, but they are all to Dewey's credit. His “call down" of the German naval commander at Manila and subsequent action when Prince Henry toasted all the nations represented at a banquet 1 except the United States, naturally render him persona non grata with ( his highness. On the occasion referred to Dewey arose from the banquet table and left the room The prince 1 apologized. “Fighting” Bob Evans I was selected to greet the prince and , attend his movements, for “Fighting” Bol> has never offended anybody ex- . cept with his mouth, so that the prince 1 can heartily accept of his company. <

For the presidency in 1904 Senator Gorman of Maryland is thus spoken of in a recent issue of a Washington paper. Mr. James L. Norris, of this city, member of both the Democratic National and Congressional comittees, and a prominent Democrat, has written a letter which has been extensively published in West Virginia and Maryland, urging the nomination of Senator A. P. Gorman as a democratic candidate for the Presidency in 1904. “The election of Mr. Gorman to the Senate by the legislature a few weeks ago,” says Mr. Norris, “is certainly most gratifying to all democrats in the United States. Mr. Gorman is a democrat in all that word implies. He stands for Democracy in its highest form; his rec-ord is absolutely pure. As a democratic leader in that Senate he had the confidence of all the party throughout the United States. “His re entrance to the senate on the 4th of March, 1903,” continued Mr. Norris, "will be hailed with delight by everv true democrat in the country and by many thousands of our countrymen

that have heretofore supported par- ! ties other than the democratic. He will be as useful in the future as he has been in the past. He was always accorded, during his eighteen years of 1 service in the senate, most important 1 places upon the leading committees. As a member on the committee on appropriations he wielded great influence and saved the government millions of dollars in his fearless opposition to extravagance. "On return to the senat - he will quickly assume his former high position in that body and wilhat once become the Democratic leader, and by virtue of which he must of necessity be recognized as the party’s leader of the nation. “I read in many of the leading papers throughout the country that Mr. Gor man is regarded as the most available man the democratic party can name for the nomination for President in 1904. Since his election to the senate Mr. Gorman s name has l>een mentioned in all parts of the country as the probable nominee. His strength does not lie alone in the southern states He is strong in the east and in the west. His loyalty to the party cannot be questioned. ' When many

democrats failed to support their purtv in 1896 and 1900, because of th<' tiivison on the currency question, Mr. Gorman, as he has always done in the past, and as he will always do m the future, supported the party and rendered excellent service in opposttion to the republicans. When the republicans swept the state in 1896 by an enormous majority and gained full control of the legislature and of the delegation in both branches of con Mr. Gorman cheered aud enthused the democrats of Maryland resulting in the overthrow of the republican party and the election of a democratic governor in 1898, and further, the election in 1901 of a legislature democratic in majority. “If nominated for the presidency, as a large majarity of the democrats be heve he will lx-, he will undoubtedly be elected Mr. Gorman possessii elements of leadership found in but few men. He is aggressive but at the same time conservative. He will make, in the opinion of those who know him best, an ideal president. 1 hero will then be a democrat in the Whitehouse who will reflect honor upon the party, stability, conservatism, and honesty upon the nation.”

Notice to Committeemen Members of the Democratic Central • Committee of Adams county are here i by notified that a meeting will beheld at Mieber's Hall in this city on Saturday, March 1, for the purpose of closing the business of the old committee and organizing the new. Business of great importance is to come before the meeting, and ever member j should be present John. W. McKean, Chairman Dem. Cen. Com. NOTICE. Notice is hereby given that there will be held on the seventh day of March, 1992. a democratic primary election for the purpose of nominating candidates for mayor, marshal, citv clerk, treasurer and two councilmeu from each ward in the city of Decatur, Indiana, to lie voted .for at the May election.

Unless assessments are paid by above date the names will not lie placed upon the ticket. Peter Gaffer, Sec’y Democratic City Committee. All oyer the country manufacturers and business men are showing their interest in foreign markets by demanding some reductions of our outrageous tariff. The fact is. the country has outgrown protection. It now' only serves to support trusts, while it ham pers our manufactures, restricts our exports, and provokes tariff retaliation. The next logical step on the part of protectionists is the demand for subsidies, which already finds expression in the sugar subsidy and the ship subsidy, and which will wax louder and stronger with every concession until the people by their votes, com-

pel congress to legislate for the benefit of the whole country, and, not for a lot of private special interests. Inde«truetlblllty nt Cedar. The resistance of cedar wood to decay hus long been famous, and cedar fencepoMs often Inst for generations. A remarkable instance of the indestructibility of cedar lias been noted In the state of Washington, where a forest of hemlocks near Acme has ’ grown up over an ancient buried forest , of cedars. The trunks of cedar, al- > though lying in a moist soil, have been • almost perfectly preserved for at least I 150 years, the length of time that the rings of growth show the hemlocks to > have been growing above their fallen - predecessors. I Catarrh. The word catarrh, as popularly used, means either nasal catarrh or bron- , chit Is. Nasal catarrh is often helped by snuffing up, so as to carry It into 1 the mouth, a weak solution of salt and , water, repeating the operation several times a day. Where the disease Is very f persistent it Is well, when possible, to 1 try a change of climate. In bronchitis the ease should be attended by a pby f siclait. • ' The Drawback to Orlalnallty. “Why do you keep repenting quotations?" asked the irritable man. "Why don't you say something original?"
