Premdext Roosevelt has sighed the bill which Congressman Robinson got through the house, granting a pension to the widow of the late Col. C. A. Zollinger of Fort \Aavne. Chairman O Brien has issued a call for the state committee June 17. at which time a plan of campaign will ’ be discussed. Judging from past events the democrats will make a red not campaign and from the present outlook they will be successful.

The beef trust denies the allegation and defies the allegator. Like all monopolistic combines they declare all laws unconstitutional that hare a tendency to curb their defamation of ‘he people's rights. The happiest democrat in Indiana is Dale J. Crittenberger. editor of the Anderson Daily News and Weekly Democrat. He is fairly elated over ’ the divorcement of democracy from populism. Brother Crittenberger has plenty of company.—South Bend Times.

The election of a democratic gorer nor in Oregon again forecasts the sentiment of the public as being antagonistic t? the politics of the national administration. It is no idle prophecy to predict that in 19(4 the people will take a hand and temporariliy relieve the trusts from the management of the government at Washington. It is a re-united democracy in Indiina this year. Neverin the histoiy of the party was a state convention held with so little contention to say nothing of bad blood /hat usually follows their conferences upon matters of party policy. Upon this question the party is a unit and it enters the campaign bearing every evidence of . success. As most every one predicted. Neeley and Rathbone, the Cuban government plunderers, are now free. Pres-I ident Palma of Cuba, has pardoned ad convicted Americans. The history of their despoliation of official trust is well known and the latest act of wholesale pardoning indicates that. the Cuban government is very readily becoming Americanized.

The democratic state ticket embraces four soldiers, a representation they are no doubt justly proud of. In addition to this, the only bill introduced in congress giving every soldier a pension was championed by Congressman Miers of Indiana, and a democrat. It was safely killed by a republican majority in congress assisted by the vote of our own Congressman Cromer. With such a record Indiana soldiers will know their friends in congress as well as out. Senator Mas. >n is a candidate for the presidency of the United States. He has made formal announcement of his purpose to become President Roosevelt's rival. He has a plan of campaign mapped out and will crrry| it into effect just as soon as congress adjourns. His first battle ground will be the south. He believes there is a sentiment in his favor in that region and he proposes to expand it by making a senes of speeches to th- people 1 of \ irginia. West. Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama and other states south of the Mason and Dixon’s line.

• M* n countv with 'ne 1 and eighteen delegates recognized the f spirit of fairness and gave Morgan i county the delegate for joint senator, f I Tlds is but another sample of politcal ! hoßeet y that it will pav the average Allen county democrat to ponder over 1 and reflect. r Tne democrats of St. Mary’s town r ship rCet in convention and nominated i G. A. Bunner for justice of the peace, s Sephus Mechin for constable. Orland 1 Springer. Sol Swank and Jasper Ca~for supervisors, and James Archbold and F. O. Davis for the township advisory board. Thanks to Hon. J. M. Robinson fcr ] a copv of his speech in congress upon ■ the Indian government. We have • ordered an extra supply of these congressional documents sent to Jim’s ■ manager in 1900, the Hon. Andy Monahan, presiding elder f the Fcrt Wayne Journal Gazette. The nomination last week of the r Hon. Richard H. Hartford of Port--1 land, as one of the appellate judges, is ■ acknowled by the legal practitioners ■ of the state as a most worthv nomina- • tion. His extensive practice in the 1 higher courts has made for him a well J • known reputation as an able lawyer. When Judge Hartford adorns the robes the appellate court will have been elevated to a standard of jodie- | ial excellence that will be gratified to say the least. Mr. Hcgh Hanna’s efforts to revive interest in the Fowler-Overstreet currency reform and banking bill have proven unavailing, and for good reason. Late reports say that Speaker Henderson has received upward of 2.(M.»• communications from bankers regarding the bill, and almost without exception they have denounced it in unmeasured terms. The influences behind the measure, although very powerful, are not strong enough to overcome the revolt of the bankers of the west, the middle states and the south. —Sentinel. _________ Hon. W. Bvrke Cochran said of the peace terms of the Boer war; ‘’They were p>aid |o surrender, and the terms in my opinion, gave them practicallv all tifc- independence thev want. W hen yon stop to consider that the Boers were fighting the two most powerful nations on earth. Engi land and the L nited States, and were able to hold out so long, then get 515.- | (00.000. as well as their practical independence. I certainly regard the out- ' come as much more of a victory for I them than for the English government. It simplv shows the power of' I justice.”

A movement to adjourn congress before July 4 is now engaging the attention of members of both branches. The motion to adjourn the house usually is made by the chairman of the ways and means committee and in the! senate the steering committeetries to I arrange the date, but it is mere difficult to force an adjournment in the 1 senate than in the house because of | the unlimited freedom in debate in ■ the upper branch. The leaders in charge of the organization of both bodies will get their heads together before long and try to reach a definite ; conclusion as to a desirable date for i adjournment.

Dr. H. F. Costello as secret ar v of ■ the county board of health, has trav I eled a rockey road to Dublin in his | efforts to do his duty as an officer.! and at the same time suppress and I wipe out an epidemic of smallpox. He I has been lampooned from h l to breakfast but he has sturdilv main- I tamed his position. Now that dutv I and public sentiment has turned in ' his direction, it is no doubt a consola- I tion to him that he hung on with a | death grip and defied his tormentors' without impunity. It is a fact that Mr. Costello has been a diligent officer and if supported will rid thecoun- 1 u ~T erv dangerous element. We have all been negligent and the time is ripe for the proper regard for the health laws. Hon. S. M. Ralston of Lebanon, wks one of the most conspicuous figures at the state convention last week As a member of the committee on resolutions he had much to do in the framing of a temperate platform of the pattern, and in this as well as many other incidentals that takes safe counsel, his advice was much «W*>t In casting about for a leader or the Indiana democracy, many optics an- already sizing up M.. ’Ralston. He has the many essentials of a successful leadership, is sound, safe and reliable. He is not fanatical and can see ad around him at one and the same time, and as a public speaker has no equal among the tnanv spellbinders of the party. There is no disputing the fact that the political star ol Mr. Ralston is fast in the ascendency. In these piping times ol railroad deals and colossal schemes of finance, it behooves every group of financiers to keep an eye on their propertv over night. Mr. James J. Hill set the fashion of buying desirable trunk lines m the open market, but his methods nave.been improved on, as was shown in the recent capture of the Louisville and Nashville by a wild westerner, to the vain regret of its officers. Napoleon found the crown of f rare® in the road and picked it up with his sword, and in the same mannera band of capitalistic free lances have been seizing anv great properties left unguarded by careless managers. It was undoubtedly the knowledge of this which led to’ some of the recent sensations in the world of la haute finance.- Lovisville Courierjournal.

The Anderson congressional convention next week is developing eon- j siderable interest among all those opposed to Congressman Cromer. The , candidates before the convention are looking up support in an energetic way. and everything indicates a rous-I ing meeting next Wednesday. Jvdge Trlesdale one of the democratic candidates for congress in this I district, was a visitor in the city yesterday afternoon, looking up delegates and votes at the Anderson convention next Wednesday. The judge is al very pleasant gentleman and gives! one the assurance of a four time winner. The congressional convention at Anderson next week promisee to be a rousing reception of those opposed and who wish to see Congressman Cromer s scalp hanging high and dry. Every county in the district is showing unusual interest and the nominee of the convention will begin his campaign with the prayers and well wishes of a majority'of the voters of the district. The people are determined and this makes easy the task undertaken. Smallpox in Adams county will cease to thrive. Action by the county and city boards of health.’backed up by an appropriation of SI,OOO by the county council. the said appropriation to be used by Dr. H. F. Costello, secretary, and the county board of health for the suppression of this somewhat rantankerous disease. The law is severe for any and all violations of the rules and laws of the state board of health, and the countv board of health have wisely decided that the state rules should be followed to the letter. This means that first the physicians must report every case of an indicative nature, that a'quarantine must be adopted and strictly adhered tn. and that e.erv person must do their duty as American citizens. If this is done there will not lie a veetige of the disease left in thirty days The Democrat stated a vea’r ago and it has since been demonstrat ed, that no danger exists for the spread of the disease under a strict quarantine. Business need not be interfered with, travel and traffic can go their limit without fear of a contamination with the malady. All that is necessary is for a unification of action upon the part of the officers and the medical profession. The time is at hand for everyone to do their dutv.
