After tliis The Hague tribunal will be a good enough method of settling disputes for the Czar.

Vice-President Fairbanks does not have to keep his boom on ice. It refrigerates itself automatically.

—lt appears that the Presbyterians are taking very kindly to Mr. Rockfeller’s proposition for a oburch merger.

No Massachusetts republican is in mourning over Gov. Douglas’ announcement that he will not be a candidate for re-election.

It looks as though the Philadelphia people made u big mistake in not including the aldermen when they were praying for Mayor Weaver

You never know how patriotio a trust is until you begin to talk about buying in the foreign market, products weich the trust sells cheaper there than it does at home.

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw says that he is not worrying about the deficit. Of course not, like the Governor of New York he proposes to let the taxpayers do the worrying.

Once on a time a man stopped taking a good newspaper because the paper printed something be didn’t like. The paper survived, but in course time the man went the way of all flesh and was forgotten.

The bank at Fowlerton, Grant county, has gone republican. Many poor people had thier savings in the institution. George E. Hopkins of Chicago was the banker and started the bank some four mouths ago. The papers state that he is now missing.

The Democrat rather likes the way the officials of the new railroad that is being built] through Newton county are acting. They state that they want no subsidies, only want the good will of the people along the line, and the Enterprise says that the SI6,(XX) subsidy voted in •Jefferson township will not be collected. Elections were held Wednesday in Beaver and Lake townships to vote subsidies for the road, and in Lake the proposition carried by a vote of 75 to 57. In Beaver, however, where there is a pretty stiff good old democratic sentiment against special privileges, it was voted down by 116 to 40.

GRAFTISN.

There is a new school board iu Peru. It is composed of William H. Zimmerman, Charles A. Cole and Elvin O. Sullivan. Bills for supplies were recently presented to it aggregating $1,030. The board, after refusing for a year to pay them, finally settled for S3OO. This, it seems to us, is a very remarkable adjustment. W. M. Belt, who acted for the two firms interested (both of Indianapolis) says that, according to his calculations, the firms lost about S3OO by the settlement, but they thought it was better to lose this than go to the law. Peru is to be congratulated on its sohool board. It bos the idea that its first duty is to safeguard the public interests, and that it is necessarily fair and reasonable. Nor do we believe that it has any intention of "beating” the contractors with whom it does business. Of course, this Peru incident is a small matter, but when it is tak-

en in connection with other things, seems to indicate that public officers are waking up to the fact that the people wish to be honestly and efficiently served. Recent happenings in Wells county, to whioh we have referred, point in the same direction. While the moral revolution in Philadelphia proves that there are forces in every community which can beenlisted on the side of decency. We suggest to the men who are dealing with public officers that the people are going to be more exacting than they have been in the past —also they are going to be more watchful. School book people, supply people, and bridge people would do well to heed the signs of the times. The firms in this Peru case may have been treated with undue harshness. On that point we shall doubtless have more information. But we say that their willingness to compromise a SI,OOO acoount for S3OO, indicates that there was at least a large margin of safety.—lndianapolis News.

THE McCOY BANK MATTER.

Judge Anderson of the Federal Court Decides Some Important (Questions. Trustee.!. H. Chapman, Judge Thompson, Jesse Wilson, Frank Foltz and Mose Tutuer were at Indianapolis Tuesday and Wednesday to the hearing of McCoy bank matters belore Judge Anderson. The Judge affirmed the referee to the effect that the Lafayette bankers get no preference because the notes held by them are signed by the members of the firm as individuals. He reversed the referee as to the overdrafts of the MoCoys and holds that the bank creditors are entitled to receive a share of the land in the name of the McCoys. This is said to be an important ruling. • In the matter of the alleged mortgage given by Tom McCoy to the bank several years ago and which was never placed on reoord, we understand the court thought there was sufficient evidence of such a mortgage, and the referee was instructed to look further into this matter, and if the alleged mortgage is sustained it will mean that the amount of same, which with interest now reaches some $43,000, will come out of the estate of Tom, which is practically worth about $50,000. This $43,000 would go to the bank to help swell the firm’s assets, and Tom’sJ individual creditors whom he owes amounts aggregating about s3o,ooo—would receive only the difference between the $50,000 and $43,000, instead of coming in on their regular share of the whole $50,000.

NORWAY SECEDES FROM THE UNION

Declaration of Independence Is Adopted by the * Storthing. FEALTY TO OSCAR THROWN OFF State Sovereignty and Loyalty Pleaded Against the Union. KING FORWARDS HIS PROTEST No Outlook for War, However, but Norway Ready to Fight. If Nee*t»*ry—Loyal Demonstration at Stockholm. London, June 8. The Stockholm correspondent of The Standard says that King Oscar has refused the Norwegian crown for his son. Another Stockholm telegram says that King Oscar, whose health is still not good, la much shaken by the crisis. Telegrams from the provinces show that the public views the developments with astonishing calmness, almost amounting to indifference. The council of state has decided to call an extraordinary session of parliament and probably no action will be taken before parliament meets. Christiania, Norway, June 8. —“Norway from today is a fully independent and sovereign state.” This is the text of the editorials in the Norwegian newspapers, and it reflects the spirit with whioh the people of Norway ac-

KING OSCAR II. OF SWEDEN.

cept the action of the storthing when it proclaimed King Oscar no longer king of Norway. Following is the resolution passed by the storthing unanimously and without debate: Declaration of Independence. “Whereas, all the members of the council of state have laid down their offices, and . “Whereas, his majesty, the king, has declared himself unable to establish a new- government for the country, and “Whereas, the constitutional regal power thus becomes Inoperative, the storthing authorizes the members of the council of state, who retired today, to exercise until further notice as the Norwegian government the power appertaining to the king in accordance with Norway’s constitution and existing laws with those changes which are necessitated by the fact that the union with Sweden under one king is dissolved In consequence of the king having censed to act ns a Norwegian king.”

EXPLAINS WHY IT WAS DONE

Address to King Oscar Chargee the Bcoes■ton to Fate. An address to the king was also adopted, which says: “The course of developments which have proved more powerful than the desire and will of Individuals has led to this result. The union entered upon In 1814 has, from the first hour, been differently Interpreted by the two nations, both with regard to Its spirit and letter. Efforts have been made on the Swedish side to extend the union, and on the Norwegian side to confine it to the limit laid down by the act of union, and otherwise to assert the independent power of both states in all matters not defined In that act as coming under the union. “The difference of principle in the Interpretation of the character of the union has provoked much misunderstanding between the two peoples, and has caused much friction In the interpretation which during the recent negotiations between the two countries has been laid down by Sweden as against Norway. The Norwegian people were bound to perceive the Injury to their constitutional right, their Independence, and their national honor “The union was Justified so long as It could contribute to the welfare and happiness of both peoples while maintaining their independence as sovereign states. But above the union there stands for us Norwegians our Norwegian fatherland, and for the Swedes their Qwedteb fatherland, while more valuable than the political union are

the feelings of solidarity and voluntary ooheeion of both peoples.” The address also declares that no 111 feeling is entertained against him, hit dynasty, or the Swedish nation and asks him to co-operate in the selection of a young prince of the house of Bernadotte to occupy the throne of Norway. The storthing will if necessary defend the step taken by force of arms If a prince of the house of Bernadotte should consent to occupy the throne of Norway he must give up all Idea oi succession to the Swedish throne. KINO OSCAR WIRES A PROTEST Swede* Reply to Norway by a Patrlotl. Uomontratloa at Stockholm. Stockholm, June B.—King Oscar luu sent the following telegram to Prenii -1 Michelson, of Norway, in reply to the secession ftom the union of that coun try: “Have received the communica tion of the council of state, and record my most decided protest against the method a-nd action of the government." The Norwegian coup d’etat was answered here by a great patriotic demonstration of loyalty to and sympathy with King Oscar. A great procession, accompanied by bands, went to Rosendal castle, where the binds played the national anthem. In a few minutes the king and other members of the royal family appeared on a balcony of the castle and were enthusiastically cheered by the demonstrators, while a number of ladies advanced from the crowd and presented the king with a bouquet. Though greatly excited over the situation the populace evinces no hostility toward Norway. King Oscar held a council in the evening at which the situation was considered.

KUKLUX GO UNWHIPT

Appellate Court Reverses a Conviction on a TechnicalityNew Trial Ordered. V MILD CENSURE OF OUTLAWRY Story of the Outrage of the White* caps—Bad Mishap to a Nervy Boy-State Items. Indianapolis, June B.—The judgment In favor of the defendants in Joseph M. Britton’s suit for damages against the other male citizens of Newark, in Greene county, for “whitecapping'’ him was reversed in the appellate court and a new trial ordered. Britton kept a drug store, which became a loafing place for l>oys and men in the surrounding country. The villagers complained and then threatened, and when a crowd of masked men finally whipped Britton in the street in front of his drug store, nobody came from any of the nineteen houses in the village to help him, or visited him during the illness that followed, but many of them expressed satisfaction with the treatment Be received or regret that he had not been killed. Recognized the Outlaws. Britton and his wife and son, who were present when he was whipped, asserted that they recognized the persons who did the whippiug by their dress and general bearing, and sued nearly all the men in the village as well as four who lived elsewhere. The Jury rendered a verdict for the defendants. In reversing the judgment on account of erroneous Instructions given to the Jury by the court Judge Roby said: Not Dangerous to the A Hamers. “The assumption of power to regulate individual conduct through the medium of clubs, and picket slats is a very dangerous assumption. It might be difficult, even in the village of Newark, to stop at Just the place to please all of the nineteen families, and he would he a very bold mail who should venture to join the community, taking chances of popular disapproval, based upon facts beyond his control and emphasized by penalties so arbitrary and severe. The law furnishes a standard of conduct and amide remedy for lawlessness. In its enforcement against all, in its observance by all, lies the •afety and happiness of all.”
