Reports from different counties in this section of the state are to the effect that oats are a large yield. Roosevelt is the first president of the United States to have two fine government yachts at his. private disposal. Other presidents have got along with only one. The democrats of Lake and Porter counties have nominated Joseph G. I bach of Hammond, for circuit judge, and Frank L. FettereY of Valparaiso, for prosecuting attorney. For joint senator, Frank L. Conroy of Hobart, was nominated. A scandal in the Kankakee (Ill.,) insane asylum has been created by two of the women patients giving birth to babes. It is not sure that returns are in as yet, but so far as heard from this does not come anywhere near the record of the Jasper county poor asylum, where, under the management of the God and morality party, in the past dozen or fifteen years, one patient became the mother of four or five children. The reports of Major Glenn’s defense in his trial by court martial. which have lately reached the War Department, make strong evidence in support of democratic contentions in regard to the real situation in the Philippines. Major Glenn said, among other things, “Every man, woman and ch'ld in the islands was an enemy and in my best judgment they are to-day and always will be." This describes the situation precisely as the democrats in Congress described it and stultifies the claims of such men as Buencamino and other Filipino proteges of the administration who have testified that their countrymen were ready to receive the domination of the United States with open arms.

Whatever father issues may arise and whatever prominence present issues may attain, there is no doubt in the minds of the democratic leaders in Washington that tariff revision will constitute an important feature of the platform on which the democrats will appear for support in 1904. No faith is placed in Mr. Roosevelt’s intention to procure legislation which will actually hamper the trusts and even if he could demonstrate his own sincerity the democrats appreciate his inability to accomplish anything in that direction. As the natural course of the trusts will be to become more powerful and more overbearing there is little doubt but that the people will be glad to seek relief from their extortions at the only source from which there is the least hope of obtaining it. Senator Carmack, who apparently believes, at least to some extent, in Mr. Roosevelt’s sincerity, predicts that when the President comes to appreciate the true true relations existing between the republican party and the trusts he will become a “democratic ally,” but that view of the situation is not generally entertained in Washington.
