Nearly a week has past and not i word has been heard from Edito Watterson or Bryan. This indicate that harmony is beginning to bar monize. Now comes the announcement tha Wells county joins her sister of Ad ams iu producing a healthy lookinj auti-Cromer club. Such a greeting to the home coming of the eightl district statesman is such as is no intended to cause any extra swelling of pride. The Cincinnati Enquirer which wai ' feet and foremost for the issues ii 1896, now wisely talks conservatism So it is with the rank and file of democ racv, and it is a time for politica leaders past, present and future t< sew up their sore spots and join with those who are not seeking office oi honor. Governor Stone of Missouri, ap peared before the Democratic Editor ial Association and made a ringing speech in which his democracy shorn I with remarkable clearness. We need mile democrats of the Stone brand leaders who accepts a party platform as it is. and labors for his party with genuine fortitude. Chairman O'Brien’s address at the French Lick Editorial meeting, was a plain unvarnished statement of the duty of the hour. It plainly smacks of good leadership and will go a long I ways toward reconciling the elements I and making democratic success possi ! ble. Mr. O’Brien, is plenty large ' enough for his position at the head of j the democratic organization, and dei serves the united support of the rank ; and file. Editor Bryan takes time to hand ■ the Hon. T. Taggart a few hot ones, and while we have not kept count, yet we opine that the editor of the i Commoner must be once around. It would now be excellent politics and good business sense for every son of a sea cook who believes in tariff reform ! and the other important issues of the democratic party to join hands in one superhuman effort to put the republicans and the gay and festive trusts to rout. A united action will do the business. Congress has laid away until after the election the Fowler currency bill, the ship subsidy bill and the bill providing for reciprocity with Cuba. The legislation that it has enacted and that which it has laid away sot enactment after the election, coupled with refusal of the republican members to enact any legislation for the control of the trusts and the voting down of the proposition to declare to the Filipinos what the policy of this country will be toward them gives the democrats the best opportunity to make an aggressive. winning campaign that they have had for years.

4 FRENCH LICK SPRINGS. r The twenty-first annual mid-sum--8 mer meeting of the Democratic Editor- ■ ial Association was held last Thursday aud Friday at French Lick Springs. . The meeting was one of the best of 1 the association, there being in attend- ’ ance about J one hundred members. ‘ Among the attractions was a banquet ’ which lasted as long as the moral law J and got better the longer it lasted. Addresses and toasts were giien by ’ President J. O. Behymer of the Tipton Times, Hou. Tom Taggart. Major . John K. Simpson of the Paoli News, ’ Mrs. W. Bent Wilson of Lafayette, H. A. Barnhart of the Rochester Sentinel. George E. Farrer of the Greenfield [ Tribune, Hon. W. H. O’Brien, chair- , man of the democratic state commit , tee. Hon. S. E. Morss of the Indian . apolis Sentinel, closing with an address by Hon. William J. Stone, former governor and the next United States senator from of Missouri. All sessions of the association were pleasant and ! decidedly interesting. Most every- ■ thing on earth was discussed as only the newspaper fraternity know how, , and the least that could be said is that every one present was morally, spirit- . ually and intellectually blessed and , J beuefitted. While we can not say that French Lick Springs stands a ghost of a j show when compared to the health, peace and plenty of Decatur. Adams county, yet we are willing to give her due credit of being a close second/ The springs are located in Major Simpson's Orange county, and is composed of 325 acres of beautifully shaded lawn and hillside. The water emerges from a gushing spring, and is a clear, colorles water of a uniform temperature of fiifty degrees Fahrenheit during both summer and winter, i The three famous springs which have ' added fame and increased the bank account of the French Lick Springs Company are known as Pluto, Proser-I pine and Bowles, and after a heroic devotion lasting two days, we can testify that they perform with pre- j cision and do everything as adver-. tised. Pluto is a remarkable spring • and has an output of eighty gallons a j minute. Its medical properties ndt only relieve but are said to cure bowel, I kidney, stomach and liver affections. | and modifies catarrhal and chronic liver conditions. The Proserpine is 1 known as the beautv spring, and the ' water applied locally softens the skin ■ and is equal to many lotions known I to medicine. The Bowles is the | milder water and contains a combina- j tion of elements and in many eases j has affected a cure of Bright’s disease.: The hotel is one of the finest in the' land and contains first class accommo-1 dation throughout. It is heated with ! steam and lighted with electricity and ; is furnished with all the comforts of ’ the times, including a dining room : service that is unexcelled. From five to six hundred guests are there constantly and the fact that the Hon. T. Taggart is manager is evidence of a merited attention. We humbly bow to Frank J. Reed, traveling passenger agent of the celebrated Monon route, for favors extended. It is the only road that reaches this famous health 1 resort, known far and wide as the 1 Carlsbad of America. The Monon is ! one of the best roads in the country, j and Mr. Reed is one of the best fellows. • Congress, after a seven months ’ session adjourned Tuesday.

Congressman Robinson proposes to < bar the door against Japanese and has 1 introduced a bill extending the Chinese < exclusion laws to apply to Japanese. His bill will allow the’registration of i Japanese laborers up to July 1.1903. It applies to territorial possessions and requires Japanese laborers who are rightfully in any of the insular territory of the United States to obtain within one vear after the passage of the act a certificate of residence. All who do not shall be deported and the Philippine commission is instructed to enforce the act in the Philippines. “I am much in earnest in my desire to keep out the Japanese.” said Mr. Robinson. ‘‘Like the Chinese, they are over running our western coast and driving American workingmen out of employment.” His bill has the endorsement of the American Federation of Labor. Representative Cromer will return from Washington this week and engage in district campaign work. Tis well. If George runs short of “district campaign work” elsewhere, he can find employment for the remainder of the season in Adams county. We believe in being on the square in this deal, and the Eagle Club with its already boasted membership of 200 with good prospects of growing, certainly shows an aggravated condition that needs medical attention and good nursing. Under ordinary fire every over-worked statesman is entitled to rest, recreation and a long summer vacation, but this case de mands immediate attention and careful watching. Should George be unable to come on first train, we suggest that he md over a ear load of his Muncie policemen who can act in the capacity of rounders until he appears.

That Senator Baiiev made a grave mistake in his personal assault upon the junior senator of Indiana, there is no doubt. Personal assaults are not intended for display in the United States senate, and when the Texan so forgot himself, he simply lowered the standard of his own fair record, and advertised that of the junior senator. Everybody is familiar with the bright and shining record of Senator Bailey. He is a learned gentleman and a statesman, but if he is to make himself the force he should be, he will have to curb himself when lined up against a laudacious senator whose chief ambition is to become famous by the shortest route. The present session has been chuck full of pugiltic statesmanship. The report now comes that Mr. C. F. W. Neeley, the gentleman who was instrumental in introducing Cuba to advanced American political methods will be unable to return to Indiana bacause of his “extensive business connections” in Cuba. We are delighted to learn that Mr. Neeley is doing so well. When he left Indiana he was in very moderate circumstances and the position to which he was ap-

pointed was not especially lucrative. Being a man of “advanced ideas,” however, and dominated by the “masterful interests of the Anglo-Saxon race” he pushed rapidly to the front. For a time his popularity was unbounded. His name was on every lip and adorned the front page of every newspaper. Os course some old-fash-ioned people denounced him -“but the march of the flag went on.” The Cubans liked him and for a time insisted on keeping him at their expense. His room in a government building was one magnifice it mass of flowers and here in regal siote he entertained hie influential friends —mostly|repubI'ean politicians from the states. All the delicacies of the season were spread before him and his life was “one long, sweet dream.” At length the Cubans fearing that the United States and especially the administration circle which was very fond of Neeley and his friend, Rathbone—would not like it if they continued to monopolize Mr. Neeley’s society, he was turned out of the government building. This was the occasion of much rejoicing throughout the length and breadth of America. It was hoped that he might return to Indiana and after a short period of recuperation among his friends and admirers, go to the senate of the United States. The report that his “business interests” in Cuba will deprive the people of Indiana of his valuable services in the upper house of congress will tie the cause of keen disappointment. However, after a time he may be able to return. Speed the day. — Indiana Democrat.

It is now Postmaster Brittson in all the word implies, he and his assistants having assumed charge and control of I ncle Sam’s postoflice. The Democrat wishes the new administration unbounded success, and in so far as the interests of our prosperous little city is concerned, deserves the support of all business interests. The Indiana g. o. p. will open the campaign September 20, and in all probability Dollars Hanna will touch the button. It comes from good authority that Congressman Cromer will not wait that long, but will begin at uuce to gather in the long green, the important consideration that accompanied. his numerous post office ‘h'als. it is the consensus of opinion that his doom is sealed. Gangs of tramps are in evidence in certain parts of the country, to which b “ well t 0 cal * attention. While these worthless vagrants are going about begging from door to door, there is a dearth of labor in the west and other sections. There is absolutely no excuse for any able bodied man going hungry or destitute Anybody that wants work can find it.
