The simplest and best way to do this while absent Is to navs The Journal to follow yon by mall. Leave your order for the paper before starting. The address will be changed as often as desired, Mr. Bryan is booked for several Democratic speeches in Missouri, the ideal Demo cratic State. Why should he not be invited to Indiana? That the. treasury receipts of August exceed the disbursements by $6,000.000 must be a disgusting surprise to those who predicted a large deficit at the close of the present fiscal year. If. four years ago, the Hon. Thomas Taggart said that "It is useless to try to beat the Republicans while this prosperity lasts," how more than futile, with the present increased Drosperity. it is for the xtemocraU tu waste themselves upon a campaign this year. gome one remarked that George Washington never used the phrase "he is not built that way," as did President Roosevelt the other day. That Is true. General Washington did not delight the people with off-hand speeches, and that phrase had not been coined in the days of the father of his country. - Doubtless there are those who can recall George Fred Williams, of Massachusetts, jfvho attracted so much attention and was r so much desired as a speaker In Indiana. He is not much in politics now, but got himself into the papers the other day by declaring that Mr. Bryan is yet the greatest of Democrats. In the election in Arkansas yesterday the Republicans had not a ghost of a chance, and if they had they would be counted out by election boards in every precinct on which the regular Republican candidates had no representatives, all boards being appointed by a state commission as in Ken tucky and other Democratic States. A dispatch from Washington says that an Increase of holdups, burglaries and murders in that State Is traceable to the example set by the desperado Tracy. As a matter of current news the papers were justified In describing the man's movements, and they are not responsible for the weakness of human nature that made many persons want to imitate such careers. The Chicago Journal, noting that several prominent Republicans In Illinois who are not In accord with Governor Yates will take an active part in the campaign, says that with but one discordant note, meaning that or senator Mason, "which is neither powerful nor entitled to consideration," the party and its nominees in that State need not fear the outcome in November, in two or tnree itepuDiican papers which opposed reciprocity with Cuba are now declaring that annexation is inevitable and make the remarkable declaration that when Cuba is annexed its 7W.000 tons of free sugar will not so much affect the price as would a cut of 20 per cent. In a 100 per cent duty or tax. That is wonderful logic, but will they forget it when the beet sugar lobby asks them to oppose annexation? Julian Ralph, who has witness the dissipation of European resorts, is shocked at the gambling and dissipation which he sees at Saratoga, particularly the gambling. In which all classes and ages participate; but the arrest of a child who was selling charity lottery tickets at the fair of a humble church in a New York suburb at a cent apiece, should be regarded as an official protest against games of chance. Mayor Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland, O., Is the champion of three-cent fares for the present, but eventually of municipal ownership, when everybody will be carried In street ears for nothing, the taxpayers raying the expense. Mayor Johnson is a man who has become a millionaire by buying. Hing and operating street railways and using to good advantage exclusive patents. Having ample protection for his own factories for making his patented goods, he became a champion of free trade. Mayor Johnson la now out of the street-railway business, but while he was In It he did not lift his voice for three-cent fares. One of his latest performances was to Induce the late Governor Pingree and others In De-

trolt, under an act which the Governor j

caused to be passed, to purchase from Mr. Johnson's company a street-railway for the city for about three times Its value or three times the cost of a new line. In making up the item- which entered into the price of the property which the city was asked to pay a large sum was charged for a franchise obtained from the city for nothing. Fortunately for the people, the conspiracy failed because the people rose In their wrath and forced the City Council to reject It, after Pingree and Johnson thought it had been fixed. Mr. Johnson Is a reformer when he can reform things at the expense of other people. The proposition to run street-railways free of cost would be impracticable even if it did not ruin every property holder. The quality of the Tom Johnson logic appears in his statement that because the owners of buildings run elevators without cost to patrons the city should do the same! A MODEL LABOR DAY SPEECH. The address of Senator Fairbanks in Kansas City yesterday is one of the few aenverea on uiDor uay in sskb wcic no display of demagogy or of partisanship. This is a distinct gain, since the typical Labor day speech is made by men who use it for political ends and who are too narrow to grasp and discuss the economic questions which touch the interests of labor in every direction. Senator Fairbanks found enough topics of vital Importance to labor to make a very interesting and instructive speech. One sentence which has the true ring reads: "We are essentially a Nation of laborers, and we have no hospitality for human drones." That Is a gospel that needs preaching. Wre have no room In this country for a useless leisure class or a use less loafer class. Every man of the working age should have some useful employ ment. If he does not. he is a cumberer of the ground and should be made to feel so. Another sentence which should attract attention is: "The quality rather than the quantity of our citizenship is the all-essen tial consideration." A city with 200,000 in habitants which has no "submerged tenth," or even a submersed twentieth, has a brighter future than a city of 2.000,000 pop ulation with tens of thousands living in slums and unable to know the decencies of life. We have shut out the Chinese, not because they are immoral, but because we cannot afford to introduce the Chinese standard of existence to compete with the American high standard of living which the industrial classes of this country enjoy. Senator Fairbanks makes It clear that one of the pressing duties of Congress Is to put tho educational qualification upon all immigrants, or any other restriction which will prevent the degradation of the common laborer of America to the level of mtny of the tens of thousands that are landing in New York. Self-preservation demands that the laws protect the millions of common laborers from the degradation of many of the immigrants coming to us from southern Europe. Even if the sentiment of human brotherhood does not appeal to us to prevent the growth of a large element of wretchedly poor and ignorant beings, cold blooded self-interest should lead us to pre vent It. Another topic upon which the senator touched is the shorter day of labor. He discusses It from the standpoint of the wage-earner, which is well, but the rapid Introduction of labor-saving machinery seems to make it an economic necessity, for, even with the marvelous purchase capacity of the American people, the greatly increased capacity to produce goods through the introduction of labor-saving machinery will sooner or later result In overproduction and long seasons of suspended activity. The other features of the labor problem organization, arbitrationSenator Fairbanks discusses with candor and clearness. They axe the questions of to-day. But he does not stop with them. The evil of child labor, which does not prevail to any extent in Indiana, he denounces In fitting terms. No conscientiously good man can favor It, because It means the destruction of helpless human beings. Passing beyond the problems of the hour, the senator discusses the well-being of the laborer when he shall have reached the years when he cannot toll. This is a topic which Is attracting the attention of highminded and humane employers of large numbers cf men. He commends the policy of pensioning men by corporations to which they have given years of faithful service, and vlewi; with approval the consideration of the care of faithful men when they are no longer able to labor. The special feature of the senator's address which has a bearing on this and like cities is the suggestion that organized labor should have headquarters the same as have boards of trade. He believes that such headquarters should be permanent, because, as he aptly says, labor Is the most permanent thing In the country. No one institution could be more useful to the city of Indianapolis than an extensive headquarters for labor a fact which must be so apparent that reasons to sustain it are not necessary. In conclusion, there runs through this admirable address the sentiment of oneness which is the essential quality of American citizenship the oneness which binds all together In a common destiny, as apart from that demagogy which would array one element against another. THE ADVANCE IN STOCKS. Few people are aware of the aggregate of the continuous advance in stocks since the election of Mr. McKinley in lSyti. Stocks which then had only a nominal value are now well up to par, while others which had a value as dividend earners in 1S96 have hed phenomenal figures. The following table shows the prices of some of the principal stocks Aug. 2S, 1, and the same date In 1900, 1901 and 1902: 1896. 1900. 1901. 1902.

Mr. Russell Sage, who Is n w a "bear" in the market, and who probably

has the conservatism, not to say the tlmld-

lty, of old age, has been quoted as saying: Stocks are dangerously high. If the trad ers are not careful they will fail over a proHplce. Storks are celling Irrespective of their dividend merits. There are millions upon millions of new securities being and on the public. The big fellows are getting out as fast as they can. Pretty ?oon they will find they can t sell their stocks at the present prices and then there Is going to be a crash. People are too reck less In buying stocks at these prices. Mr. James R. Keene, a famous operator, and who has been known as a "bear," is now a "bull" of the most positive character. When he saw Mr. Sage's statement he made the following as a reply: The fundamentals of the market are solid. I never was more positive in my life than l am in the opinion that stocks will ream a higher range of values. Agricultural con ditions and business activity such as we have enjoyed and have reason to expect made a firm foundation for stock, values. We have the products and the markets are open to us. There is no false bottom to this period of good times. We have had six years of business prosperity to put the farmer and the railroad, the merchant and the workman on firm ground. Our crops are good and marvelously abundant. Although prices may look high now in contrast with past quotations, I believe that prices are relatively lower and stocks intrinsically more valuable than they were six years ago. Our railways have improved roadbeds, on which heavier rails are laid, new rolling stock and improvements of every kind, to provide for the safety of passengers and to insure economy of administration. Earning capacity has increased, and the success of the crops has made dividends certain. I know of no false dividends declared for stock jobbing -or other purposes, but I do know of railroads that have been earning 12 per cent, and paying a conservative dividend of 6. Ail cur railroads have plenty of money In their treasuries and have spent money wisely enhancing the values of their properties. Here are the opinions of two men who have been successful dealers for years and who have made large fortunes in stock transactions. The striking feature of the figures quoted is the millions of money which those who owned considerable quantities of these stocks in 1896 must have made by the rise if they have sold. Selling Atchison for 94 which cost 10 in 1896, and Louisville & Nashville for 154 which cost 39 that year, is very much like finding money. Labor day appears to have been generally celebrated throughout the North, but only to a limited extent in cities of the South. There was a general suspension of labor, and literally millions of people enjoyed a holiday. The turnout in this city was not so large as in some previous years, but the different unions made an unusually attrac tive appearance. Fossibly the only persons who were not entirely pleased with the programme are a few orators who would have been delighted to have told organised labor of the wrongs it suffered and of the hard lives they are forced to live. Very wisely the managers of the celebration left outside speaking out of their order of exercises, probably because they have had enough of that sort of oratory. It is hoped that those who instituted Labor day and have made it an institution And it something else than a holiday which accentuates the hopelessness of the weary round of toil, since those who seek to dignify labor should not regard It as drudgery. Dr. Andrews, of Nebraska State University, thinks the weak point of both of the great political parties in this country is failure to recognize the great changes that have taken place in economic, commercial and social conditions, and to adapt themselves to them. In other words, he thinks the business world moves much faster than the political and that commerce is getting far ahead of statesmanship. It Is certainly true that new conditions require new methods and that old-fashioned competition can never be legislated back to economic life any more than stage coaches and canal boats can be revived as popular means of transportation. The party that does not move with the times will get run over. The Hon. A. M. Scott, of Ladoga, who so ably represented Montgomery county in the last Legislature, says: "Our part of the State was never so prosperous; they never had so much money; they never had better crops. Farm land is worth from $15 to $2t an acre more than ft was four years ago. A man who bought an out-of-mc-wtt larra lour years ago at 40 an acre was offered $65 an acre for it a few days ago, but he would not take it." This is a sample of the reports from different parts of the State. No wonder the Demo cratic managers are loath to plunge into a campaign. The army seems not to have been a match for the navy in the mimic war. In fact, it seemed easy for the Olympia to effect a landing in Massachusetts bay. but it may be said in extenuation that the Olympia is a most lucky ship. If our harbors were defended by torpedo boats and the lands men could have used their guns upon a real enemy, the outcome would probably have been very different. John R. McLean, judging from his news paper, is entirely satisfied to have Mayor Johnson run the Democratic machine In an off year, but he and his friends will see to it that the Johnson ticket Is held within reasonable bounds. Mr. McLean does not take a brass band with him wherever he goes. Mary MacLane, the Butte, Mont., genius, who says she wants to marry the devil, is in New York writing for one of the yel low newspapers of that city. Thus does genius of that particular brand quickly find itself at home.

If the unions had had the selection of the weather for Labor day they could not have made a better choice. It was an ideal day that was served "ut to them. THE HUMORISTS. One Consolation.

CORRItiA. Blahop Montgomery Chosen aa Coadjutor to Archbishop Rlordan, of San Francisco. ROME, Sept. 1. The Propaganda, after a lengthy sitting to-day. decided to recom mend the Pope to appoint the Right Rev. John M. Farley, D. D., auxiliary bishop of New York, to the archbishop of New Yora, in succession to the late Most. Rev. Michael Augustine Corrigan, and Right Rev. George Montgomery, bishop of Los Angeles, Cal., as coadjutor to the Most Rev. Patrick Wil liam Itiordan, archbishop of San Francisco. Cardinal Gottl, prefect of the Propaganda, presided. The other cardinals present were Seranno Vannutelli, Vincent Manutelli. Satolli, Steinhueber, Segna. Cretonlck. Vives y Tuto and Martinelll. The discussion last ed three and a half hours. Cardinal Martinelll, who was charged to set forth the case to his colleagues, made a minute and detailed report about the different candidates. The information received showed that Dr. Farley was qual ified as the most worthy candidate for the post, both in the list of the priests and bish ops and In the reports of the archbishops of the United States. After a discussion, In which all the cardinals present participated. Cardinal Gottl gummed up the expressions of opinions of those present, with the result that the choice of Dr. Farley was unanimous. The ratification of the Pope is necessary to make the appointment definite. Mi;r. Veccia, secretary of the Propaganda, will report to-day s meeting to his Holiness some time during this week. The formality of the confirmation cf the decision reached by the cardinals, however, is some times delayed. The qualifications of the candidates for the post of coadjutor to the archbishop of San Francisco were outlined by Cardinal Satolll, whose eulogy of the Right Rev. fjeorge Montgomery resulted In this pre late's nomination almost without discus sion. It is expected that Dr. Farley will ask fpr an auxiliary bishop. CHINESE LABOR NEEDED CONGRESS MAY BE ASKED TO MODI FY PRESENT EXCLUSION LAW. Philippines Require Laborers Who Will Work for Lower Wnsei than AmericansTariff Returns. WASHINGTON, Sept. l.-It is the opinion at the A ar Department that Governor Taft's remarks at the Board of 'Trade banquet in Manila yesterday respecting the employment of labor on plantations will form the basis of a suggestion to Congress, at the next session, that the act extending the Chinese exclusion laws to the Philippines be amended. It is contemplated to remove the iron-clad restriction which now exists, and clothe the Philippine commis sion with power to regulate the entrance of Chinese labor. The commission itself already has given some attention to this subject and it Is believed Professor Jenks's in vestigations into the labor problem In the Straits Settlements and elsewhere in the Orient meet with its approval. The pro posed regulations it is said will look to a wisely regulated system of admissions of Chinese as plantation laborers under sufficient bonds In each case, under proper systems of Identification and a condition that they shall leave the Philippines after certain periods of time. Such regulations as exist in Hawaii for the proper care of the coolies would be incorporated. Governor Taft's representations on this subject yesterday were in answer to pressing demands from the American chambers of commerce and employers of labor in the Philippines for relief from the present con ditions, which it Is alleged prevent the development of the country. Surprising results have followed the compilation of tariff returns on goods imported from the Philippine islands during the first five months of the operation of the Philippines tariff act. approved March 8, last. Under that act 75 per cent, of the Dlngley rates were to be collected on Philippine imports into the United States and this was to be held as a trust fund in the United States treasury. Although when the act was passed it was realized that the imposition of any duties of this kind would be restrictive of trade. It was argued that as the returns would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $500,000 per annum that consideration would outweigh the drawbacks of maintaining a tariff system against the Philippines. The returns Just published In the treasury show that the total receipts for the five months of March. April. May. June and July were but 111.194 a sum so small In the opinion of the officials as to scarcely meet the cost of collection. Moreover, the returns by months do not show any increase, but rather a decrease in the collections. These facts win dc orougnt to tne attention of Congress at Its next session. Americans Defesded. BERLIN, Sept. L -A correspondent of the Frankfurt Zeitung, writing from Manila, replies to the charges of cruelty on the part of the American army appearing in Euro pean newspapers. He says: "Perhaps no other nation except the United States would have had the patience to meet the stubborn resistance of the Filipinos In Samar for two long years with such humanity as, on the whole, has boon the case. It is not to be wondered at that the American leaders finally let their Rail run over at the treaeh erous tricks played upon them and adopted sharper measures. Of course, some excesses -B a a. ja s v. i a a ... occurreu, out u is nigniy inaamissibie to select these few cases and serve them to the public as typical of American warmaking. Th- correspondent also emphasizes the in justice of expecting Americans to observe In every case the rules of civilized warfare while fighting such a foe. The writer praises the political shrewdness, combined with moderation, of making surrendered Insurgent officers governors of provinces.

FIERCE MAX OF SEVENTY YEARS. Killed a Man Long Ago and mv la After Another Enemy. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. COVINGTON, Ind.. Sept. 1. A year ago David Cunningham, of Blount, a village just over the Illinois line, got a threatening letter from David Clem, who asserted he was going to kill Cunningham.

He was taken before a justice and his hearing was set for Sept. 8. Clem, who is seventy years old, was allowed to go on his own recognizance. This trouble recalls an old tragedy In which Clem had part twenty-four years ago. He killed Milo Grltton. of Blount, by cutting his throat. Gen. John C.

Sept. l.-Tho Beacon hill signal and wireless telegraph station, established by the army in connection with the extensive war maneuvers, was captured by the fleet representing; the enemy, under command of Rear' Admiral Higginson. just after 6 o clock this morning. The station was abandoned after a bombardment of two hours and a quarter by the battleships and the guard es caped before a superior force of marines, which had landed under cover of fire from the vessels at Great Salt Pond harb Eight hundred marines are now holding tha station and guarding the approaches while the fleet is anchored off shore. It wag scarcely midnight when the patrol of tha Block island life-saving station discovered the fleet off the eastern side of the Inland. The signal station at once was warned and the men considered an attack imminent. They had four hours leeway.

L Tho United States cruiser Olympia dashed into this port this forenoon, landed a force and seised all telegraph, telephone and cable stations, then by cutting off all communication with Martha's Vineyard and Ellxai beth island. Of course, the seizure and the destruction of telegraphic and telci phone facilities were figurative, and it required the decision of an umpire to make plain whether the point attempted by Admiral Higginson had been wor. As tho landing was made the telegraph and telephone offices were entered by sufficient force to have destroyed the property, or at least the Instruments, and at the same time a boat's crew had located the cables with grappling hooks and had held them a sufficient period to have allowed for tha cutting of them, there seemed to have basaa no question that the move had been entirely successful. The Olympia appeared off thta port suddenly early this morning and tmm-.Ilat y two boats put off toaard sho: One was a launch and the other a whaleboat and in them was a detachment under Lieut. A. L Everhardt. The launch landed here, while the whaleboat lay off shore and at once began grappling for the rablf. The men under Lieutenant Everhardt rushed to tho off.te of the Martha's Vineyard Teitgraph Company, and then to the teiephouv station and carried out their orders to make tho seisurt . liavinK accomplished this work they returned to their launch. Joined tho whaleboat and returned to their ship. Thla move cut off the only communication with the islands of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, which are very Important oa asrv&tlon stations.
