Increased bank deposits and increased cancellation of mortgages is the report that comes from the Western States generally. Some of the declarations of the Socialist convention relative to the condition of labor remind one' of the orators of the party of calamity in lsi)1',. There Is no more certain method of keeping wages low than to have ini-n do work that can be done by machines in the hands of skillful wjrkm-n. With n spring wheat crop l.l.) bushels larger than that of last year Kansas farmers can stand, some shrinkage in the corn crop without suffering. Now that Air. Crawford Fairbanks, of Terre Haute, has said that Mayor Taggart will accept the carnildacy for mayor the incident may bo looked upon as closed. Professor Herron does not point out wherein capitalism is taught In the schools, as he Is one of the m.n who prove a thing by declaring it in a loud voice, but the pcopl-i who pay taxes are very certain that they support the schools. The new census shows that in Maine subetantlally al the population is white, tha colored clement representing but threetenths of 1 per cent, of the entire population. And there Is no prohibitory law against colored Immigration, either. Special Commissioner Itockhill seems to have been the business man among the ministers nt Peking and to have had controlling Influence in determining the details for collecting ths Chinese indemnity. The fact is the other powers never would have trot out of the Chinese muddle but for the United States. If an excited crowd of Americans who had been victimlztd in a big swindle had clamored for the lynching of the rascals who had robbed them the r.ritish press would have preached about American dlohonesty and love of "the almighty dollar." Hut when it happens In London that Is a different thing. The Socialists would keep the idle employed on public, works and pay them with the paper obligations of the United States', w';lch means that tho new party believes jiat the government can give full purchasepower to Irredeemable paper money. Thecountry at large Is a lor.g way In advance of that Hat money heresy. The failure thus far of the executive committee of the Amalgamated Association to agree to the terms proffered is a general disappointment; still, the situation Is not without hope, because the propositions of the directors of the United States Steel Corporation are yet und, r consideration. Deliberation is wont to had to calmer Judgment. Street railroad n. agnate Yerkes. of Chicago, who is trjing to get an tl.etr! franchise in London, strikes hack at the hcal managers who are opposing- him by charging th"in with "Mupcndous ignorance of everything connected with the construction und fpration of eleetric roads." He is pr..bah!y rkht, tut i:ritl:-h complacency Iievr admits Uritlsh ignorance.

.U STKi: TO CI IIA. A few days sro a Havana dispatch paid that the people of Cuba are anxious to s?curo a reciprocal trade treaty with the l.'nited Stars. If Cuba were In a position to demand such consideration nt our hands she would be pardoned for doing so. Not bing in that position, a national sense of justice on the part of Congress should lead that body to make such trade regula tions as will give the products of Cuba an advantage over other competitors in exchange7 for a similar advantage for oursehex in the Cuban markets. To-day Cuba i- what th- United States has made it. Without asking" the consent of its people we haw taken the island from Spain and promised to make on Independent republic of it. We have occupied th island and have given it a rule distinctively American. We haw ever, gone so far a.s to require the constitutional convention of the Islr.nd to insert a clause In its Constitution practical1 putting its foreign affairs with Its tieatbs under the supervision of the United Stats. This was done for the safety of Cuba; it was also done to give us the advantage over other nations. Haing so far dictated the future relations of Cuba, the l.'nited States is in honor bound to do the fair thing in regard to its trade. Cuba's chief article of export Is raw sugar. In recent years revolutions, Spanish illiberality and the fierce competition of beet sugars, stimulated by bounties, have hampered the sugar industry of Cuba and impoverished the island, if the United States should riduce the duty on the raw sugars of Cuba or .' per cent, the island would prosper and a l.trg trade, by a like reduction of Cuban duties on American goods, would grow up at once. The wonder is that there should be any opposition to such a proposition. This matter is spoken of now because it is already evident that the beet-sugar growing interest will light any considerable concession to Cuban sugar growers. This same element did its utmost to prevent the annexation of Hawaii and the ratification of the Spanish-American treaty. It will, with the tobacco-growing interest, attempt to prevent an act of justice to Cuba which we have so bound to us by the Piatt amendment that it can make no trade treaty with any other nation without our consent. The honor and the interest of the United States bind the Congress to give Cuba a reciprocal treaty. Till HAI. THAT DIU M)T CO .UK. Probably no article In Tuesday's Journal was read by more persons with greater interest than the brief announcement from the Weather Rureau: "For Indiana Local thunderstorms Tuesday." Hope defen ed had had so deprtrsing an effect that this announcement brt ught a corresponding reaction. Everybody knew that local thunderstorms in Indiana did not necessarily mean a storm for Indianapolis, yet, wilh the general consensus of opinion that one was needed, there was a feeling that the city had waited patiently as long as could reasonably be expected, and, while there was no disposition to complain If the weather prediction did not come true for this locality, there was a strong moral conviction than it otght to come true. The clouds that gathered on Tuesday in such generous profusion and with such an apparently honest assurance of meaning business were welcomed as old friends thit had come to redeem a long-deferred promise. They piled up ami rolled about in the oldfashioned way, advanced and fell back, grew black at times and thundered some in the. index, but thj expected storm did not come. Residents of the city who went to sleep Tuesday riwht expecting to be awakened by an electrical storm in a few hour?, and who woke up yesterday morning hoping to Und that an Inch or two of rain had fallen during the right, were disappointed. The generous-looking clouds that promised so well h td disappeared moved away to deposit their precious load somewhere else and the morning weather report said: "For Ir.diana Fair Wednesday. Thursday, fair and warmer." To make matters worse the disappointed citizen learned that copious and refreshing rains had fallen all an und the State, and at several poin's within It, but none in central Indiana. A steady procession of clouds had passed over tjhe city during the night, carrying countless tons of water, without depositing a drop. The earth hereabout was thirstier yesterday than ever, and the leaves on the trees more withered. Cut the situation still offers this consoling rellection: The clouds that passed over the city Wednesday and Wednesday night are not the only ones. There are others. The rain will come, and the longer it is deferred the more welcome it will be. That It did not come when It was promised is no sign that the people of Indianapolis are sinners above all others. They can still tind comfort in the reflection thit all things come to them that wait. As a breeding ground for political heresies, and especially for financial follies. Ohio manages to keep ahead of Kansas. The greenback craze, the fiat money foolishness ami the free silver fallacy II found a congenial home in Ohio, and the surviving Rryanltes seem determined to keep them all alive If they can A platform which the leaders of the faction are circulating contains the following: We demand that all money that Is manufactured to be usetl in this count rv us a medium of exchange, whether it be gold, silver or paper, shall be coined by the government and distributed among the people without the intiTwntlon of banks, and that eve ry dollar of it shall be a legal tender for all debts, public and private. That has the genuine old-fashlor.ed fiat money ring, and with nn added reathrmatlon ef the Chlcagei and Kansas City platforms will doubtless receive Mr. Uryan's approval. There is nothing sensational in the prediction that the bubonic plagu will spread in this country r.ow that It has appeared on both sidts of the continent. On the contrary, the prediction Is strictly In harmony with sclera- und experience. No intelligent physician will eh ubt that the disease, once introduceel as it has been, will spread, unless prt mpt and drastic steps ;ue taken to prent it.

Never In the history of the Acton Park Association has there been such a dearth of enthusiasm shown as has been the case this summer. While the assembly has been opened but one week, it has been long enough to show the members of the association that something must be done to draw people to the resort that was so popular a few years ago. There are nearly two hundred cottages on the grounds, and less than half that number are occupied. Some of the residents say the hot weather caused the falling off in attendance. Another source of information says that the Dig Four Railroad Company Is trying to buy the property and will, when the opportunity comes, lessen the attendance at Acton Park as much as possible. This latter theory is in degree borne out by the fact that the railroad company refused to stop. its late trains at the park this year In past years the schedule arranged was in every way Miitable for thri managers of the park, and great crowds came each day and remained until 11 o'clock at night. When the park ope-ned this year the announcement came from the officials of the railroad that the late trains could be stopped only when twenty-live cash passengers were at the park. This order caused cpuite a stir among the directors ot the association. Some thougnt of a movement among the cottage holders wirn a view of petitioning the railroad to rescind Its action. President Dashlell saw that the action of the railroad company was hurting the success ot this vear's meeting and he immediately appointee! a committee e-ejmposeel of Mr. Olin, L. G. Akin and the Rev. O. W. Tinsley to :e the railroad oHiciils. The matter hung fire with the railroad company for a week. and it was not until last night that word was received from General Manage-r Schaff, at Cincinnati, that the late trains could be stopped if ten eash passengers are at the park. To-day will be held the annual meeting of the directors of the- association. It Is saiei that all the old dlre-ctors will consent to re-ef ction except the Rev. C. W. Tinsley. The latter. It is said, refuses to allow Ids name to come up for re-eiectlon, as h sees tin e'eeadence of the park and wishes to serve ne longer. President Dashlell, who has served in that capacity for eleven year, when asked last evening for his view of the :-itt:.tiou, said it was hard for men" to look alter such matters without p. iy. He acteel as president for four ye;rs without return of any kind, and for sevral years later he received hardly enough t pay for the tremble. He' said that it was being realized that vouug in op. must be put on thy various I oards and new Idoas infused into the management of the association. KOlSi:i OPT OF NAPS. Hev. L. L.

GOLD SPOILS THE TIN ONR I'LAt'R WHRHR TUR PRKCJOI S AI ETA I. IS CN WELCOME. Local 4 Iirmlftt DiMcovern for Tin IMntc Plant the IlenKini for Jit Product' On Color. "The average citizen would think that g)lel is desirable no matter where it might be found." said a local e-hemist yesterelay, "but a big tin-plate factory in this State Is seriously embarrassed because the precious yellow metal has been found In some of its tin. Not long ago a representative of the factory came to my office with samples of tin plate ami asked mo to discover if possible the reason for the metal's bluish-yellow tinge, which he said affected its selling value very materially, putting the product in the second or third graele. "When I completed my tests and announced to the man that his tin contained gold." continued the chemist, "he starte-d with surprise and exclaimed, 'Where on earth could the gold have come from?' 'I suspect that it was found in the earth.' I icplied. 'Where do you get your ore from which you make tin?' He tohl me that the ere was shipped from the Black hills. 'Well, that accounts for the presence of goal.' I replied." The chemist said that when the tin plate was assayeel it was found that the gold contained in it ran about lo to each ton. Tin plate was quoted yesterday at $o40 a ton. but that is the variety of plate that gives forth the bright, silvery sheen so much aelmired by the trade. The tin plate that is mixed with gold is not worth nearly so much because it has a bluish-yellow tint that repels purchasers. "Why don't the tin plate manufacturers s parate the gold from the ore ami realiz on its value?" asked the reporter. "That question is eacy to answer." replied the manipulator of acids and retorts. "When the ore Is smelted the tin and the gold form a sort of alloy. Now. If you want to separate the two mtals you must convert the tin into an oxide, and when the gold has been fred ef course the oxide must b- changed back to tin again. By the tjme you have done that you have expended considerably more than J.'iO worth of lab r. Tin truth is there Is no economical method by which the metals can beseparated. The g.dd simply spoils the tin. and the emly tiling to 1o Is to use It in making second or third-grade plate." SELECTING A CHAIRMAN. Republican Need an Especially Good One Thin Year. Lafayete Daily Call. It i announced that the Republican State central committee will meet Thursday at Indianapolis for the purpose of n organization. Reports nr- current that the committee has practically decided upon r. man for chairman, but we presume that this matter will be left for settlement wnen the committee meets and that no one has been assured of the place. An off-year campaign in Indiana means havy work for the Republicans. Heavy weights are needed to conduct party affairs. Tills State's Republican majority must not be decreased. In l4 Indiana expects to have the Republican nominee for President. The Republicans in other States will kcp their eyes Indianaward In the fall election of 1901. The results must be better than ever before. In order to maintain party supremacy, the organization necessarily must be perfect. In this State we have several members of Congress who are born political generals. Our own Edgar I). Crumpacker is one of them. Over in the Ninth. Charle It. Landls Is another. Down In the Sixth. James E. Watson has demomtrated his ability to get there. James A. Hemenway, who owns the First district, has party management down to a fine point. Either of these men would mok- an excellent State chairman and lend dignity to the position. It would be an cay matter for any of them to take hold at Indianapolis and steer the State ticket through te victory In 12. Indiana Republicans cannot well afford to neglect the opportunity to attract attention to their campaign. It must be a hummer.

AGENT OF It ENEKY

STIIIIIING I P TIIOI RLE FOR SOCI ALISTS .MEHTI.Nta IIGHU. Jinx Hay Charge that a "I)c LconUC nmlnsnrj IIa Duped the Iii dlnnnpnlis Sentinel. RESULTED IN DEBS STORY IWPEIl INDICED TO PRINT FALSE ItEPOUT OF HIS It HIT D I ATI ON. Amended Platform Adopted by Convention Work UcglnN on Count it ution. Prominent members of the Socialist rarty In convention in this city made the charge, last night, that the information on which was based the story in the Indianapolis Sentinel to the effect that the Socialists would repudiate Eugene V. Debs had been furnished by an agent or advocate of the De Leonist faction of Socialists, and that the agent had received instructions from leaders of the De Leoni.-ts to circulate stories or in other ways endeavor to cause ill feeling in the Indianapolis convention. The members of the two tactions of Socialist now lure also eleny emphatically that there is the slightest ground for the publication of the story of repudiation. Max Hays, chairman of the unity convention yesterday, and a Socialist writer of prominence, was asked, last night, where the story probably originated concerning the alle ged repudiation of Debs. "I have been informed that the man who wrote the articles in the Indianapolis Sentinel or who furnished the information to the reporter of that paper, is a man who resides in Indianapolis and is a stanch advocate of the De Leonist faction," said Mr. Hay?. "There is also a belief among both the members of the Springfield nnd Chicago factions that this man is acting as an agent or. representative of the De Leonist faction In this city and that he has received instructions from the leaders of that party to create a sentiment against Delis, If possible, among the delegates attending the unity convention. BOTH STORIES FALSE. "The two articles that have appeared on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings In the Indianapolis Sentinel show on the face that they were either prepared by or the information given by a De Leonist man. Both stories were fabrications of the rankest sort, and every man who Is a delegate to this convention will bear me out In the statement that there is not the slightest ill feeling toward Mr. Debs and there never was the slightest intimation of any such action being taken as the Sentinel reports. "The De Leonist faction is antagonistic to the Chicago, Springfield and independent factions and will stoop to almost anything to attempt to br'eak the unity of these parties. I firmly believe that the man who furnished the story for the Sentinel is a man living in Indianapolis and who is known among our people as being the advocate of the De Leonist faction, a taction whose strength cannot be compared with ours. The De Leonis ts belong to what might be termed the old radical Socialists and have no chance of competing with us. . Yet they saw the chance eif having a Democratic paper accept the Debs story, which is a lie from beginning to end. The R.?ntlnel reporter was duped by the Do Leonist advocate." FROM SPRINGFIELD FACTION. This charge made by Mr. Hays was corroborated by Walter Thomas Mills, of Chicago, and many others. Mr. Mills said: "While I belong to the Springfield faction and have never been identilied with Mr. Debs, you can state that there is the highest regard held tor Mr. Debs by all members of the Springfield party and the thought of repudiating him never was discussed. I hive talked with nearly every delegate attending the Indianapolis convention and they have all expressed regret at Mr. Debs's forced absence from the convention owing to illness and have further expressed the warmest and kindest regard for him." F. O. MaeCartney, who has taken a prominent part ii the convention and is a recognized loader in socialism, said there could possibly be no dissension in the ranks of either the Chicago or Springfield faction against Debs, ile also characterized the stories published by the Sentinel as fabrications. A resolution was introduced in the convention yesterday mernir.g to have the Sentinel reporter excluded from the meetii gs of the convention because of the untruthful and prejulieed reports that have appeared in that pper. There was some debate on the resolution, but it was moved to table It because the convention elid not lesire to lower its dignity by taking up the story published concerning Debs and other stries when there was not the slightest truth in them. THE SOCIALIST PARTY.' Ncvf Name Adopted by Reformers AVrniiKle Over Theorie. The plastering on the walls of Masonic Hall was not in so much danger of crumbling away from the effects of thundering debates in the Socialist unity convention yesterday, as the delegates who hail strained their vocal cords on Tuesday were unable to make a great noise during y. terday's session. There; was the usual amount of quibbling over trivial matters, a:s some delegates termed it, and it was 4:25 p. m. before the platform was adopted. The morning session was consumed with eloquence. There were fewer insinuations hurled during th? morning session than at any time during the convention, because the fund of carefully constructed epithets had b-.en exhausted. Befere the adjournment of the morning se.-siun it was voted that the "immediate demands" should remain in the platform, and at the atternoon meeting the debating was resumed on the wording of the preamble of "the platform and the "immediate demands." CHANGES IN THE PLATFORM. The changes in the platform as agreed upon before it was adopted are few. In the third paragraph of the platform the first sentence was amended to re-ael. "Fxivate ownership of means of production and distribution." etc.. Instead of "Private ownership of the tfieils of production." etc. in the later part of the same paragraph the word "public" is omitted from the sentence relating to capitalists controlling the government, press, pulpit and schoe,i, and now reads: ''The possession of the me. ans of livelihood gives to the capitalists the control of the government, the press, the pulpit and scheoIs," etc. The; last sentence was stricken from the seventh paragraph, and tue eighth paragraph was also omitteel from the platterm. The firct lur demands as published m the Journal yesterday morning in ihe ameneleil elemamis we-re adopteet with the changing of a fe w words. In the first china im the first sentence is change-el from "The public ownt-rship of all means of transportation." etc., to "The collective means." etc-. In the third demand the sen tence. "The- funis for this purpose to be collected from the revenue ot the capitalist class and to be ;tdmlnlste-reel under the control of the working class." was amenued to read, "The funds for this purpose to be collected from thv government and to be administered." etc. There was also a chanee In the additional faragraph to the demands as follows: "But n advocating these measures as steps In the overthrow of capitalism and the estabUhrr.ent of the co-operative commonwealth, we warn the working class against the Fo-called public ownership movements as an attempt of the capitalist c!an. to secure governmental control if public utilities for the purpose of obtaining greater security in the exphdtatlon of other industries and net for the amelioration of the conditions of the working class." With the amendments as given the platform was doptetl amid great applause by the comrades of both factions. "THE SOCIALIST PARTY."

To the Hdltor of th Indiana poll Journal: It Is true I have Just returned from Havana. Cuba, but I did not call on Mr. C. F. W. Neely. He is confined in prison there as a criminal and doubtless will be tried as s'ich. The Americans at Havana have no desire to show him any recognition by calling on him. Mr. Neely has fondrie'ss for beiny lionized or snobbylzed, which I have no desire to gratify. He doubtlens thinks that when he returns home he will be met with a procession and a brass band. He fhould be. ostracised by all decent and honest people. The Americans at Havana feel that he hai compromised them & well as the govern meat, and that he richly deserve severs punishment, or his nullt tbere Is not the least eloubt by any one at Havana. Th Cubans are slow in everything, and their criminal proceedings are no exception. That his stealings amount to a large sum has been established beyond any doubt, and that he has a large fund to use as a corruption fund Is certainly true. j. l. m i nt run Alexandria, Ind.. July 2L
