The collection and re-grindiug of corks has grown into a recognized industry. They are procured from Ital--lans who sort over the refuse dumps. The supply thus obtained is always large, and the smaller-sized corks which are made are disposed of in large numbers and to good advantage; perhaf)s coming back in a weeks or months, and going out agam in reduced size. :

THE coal oil magnate, John D. Rockefeller, is relatively one of the smallest tax-payers in”the country, being assessed for only $300,000 personal property and a few parcels of real estate. This and other instances of very rich men contributing but a small fraction of thpir income to the local treasury is attracting much attention on the part of real estate owners who are fnow so heavily burdened. The time is ripe for a change in the method of the tax taws. .

~INDIANAPOLIS has ended its ten year struggle with the street railway corporations and the people have won a signal vietory. The company agrees to pay to the city $1,160,000, pave between all its tracks as ordered, expend one million in improvements, give the city the use of a desirable piece of property for a market land, best of all,allows four cent fare when tickets arc purchased in reasonable quantities. In return the company gets a 34 year franchise.

WHEN you say a word against trusts some fellow can always be found who tries to excuse them, with the allegation that they lower prices and he quotes the price of coal oil t\:venty years ago and now. Butany one can see object lessons in the workings of the trusts in the advance of prices of all kinds, but the fellows who seem to be getting in their work to best advantage are the manipulators of the wire nail trust. An advance of price from $23 to $46 per ton is an object lesson that illustrates their power. : : : =

HERE is a brief but very comprehensive extract from Mayor Carter H. Harrison’s admirable banquet speech at Milwaukee: A republic’s first need is purity of the ballot. Its seeond need is the. absolute incorruptibility of those intrusted by it with the reins of goyernment. The trusts and monopelies, conscienceless as they are, corrupt the one and debauch the other. They are the hotbeds that breed a mass of corruption which is today the greatest danger threatening the permaneucy of our free institutions. The sober second thought of the nation-will assert. itself against the exotic theory of imperialism.”

A WRITER in the London Home Magazine makes an estimate that the beer annually consumed in the world would make a. lake six feet feep, three and three-fourths miles dong and a mile wide, or 2,319 acres in area. In this vastlake, says the. writer, we could easily drown all the ¥nglish-speaking people, to the number of 120,000,000, throughout the entire world, or we could give a beer hath to every man, woman and child atthe same time on the entire continent of America, while all the people ©of England, Scotland, Ireland -and France eould find standing- room on its bed. This would be a popular dake for a summer resort.

THERE IS WISDOM in the suggestion of Booker T. Washington, the ablest and most useful colored man now hefore the country, that the welfare of the colored people of the South would be advanced by colored voters identi-

fying themselves with the Demo<cratic party. Democratic supremacy in the South is established anyways and is not likely to be broken for #ome years. By joining the Demo€ratic party, the cause for southern solidity will disapper. and it will not e long until new alignments will be formed. A ''solid South’ is notgood for either the South or the country at large. Neither would be a solid North. Two parties, of pretty near equal strength, is what this country needs and ought .to have._ Such a condition would admonish party ileaders and managers to behave themselves—an admonition that canmnot well be too strongly brought to their attention. - I~v coNNECTION with Democratic organization for 1900,the LaPorte Argus well and truly says: "Every true Demoerat should insgst that the Tellers and Townes and Harveys who have never pretended to be Demoerats, but who haye been conspicuously at the head of the Democratic National commitee and assuming fo direet the affairs of the party, as illmstrated in the Chicago case, should step down and their place on the commitee should filled by men who are not afraid to admit it or to vote for democratic men and mvasures. Until this is done, it can hardly be expected that Democrats will be united in support of their committee. It is all right for the Tellers and Townes and Harveys to help elect Democrats and they should be encouraged to do that, but until they become Demoerats in all things they should not be «conspicuously at the head of the Democratic party or assume to be its ‘managers. Such things cannot be -and give satisfaction.” i

MUNICIPAL-OWNERSHIP SENTIMENT. The municipal-ownership sentiment has been developing very rapidily' in this country in the last few years. In the Chicago campaign all three candidates declared themselves ‘ in favor of municipal-ownership, not ‘ of street-car lines alone, but of other public utilities as well. In Toledo Mayor Jones was reelected on a mun-icipal-ownership, platform as an in- ! dependent, with a majority over both ‘the other candidates. In Detroit Gov. Pingree and others are even now putting through a plan for both munici-pal-ownership and operation of the street-car system. Thereisan active agitation on in New York for a municipal gas plant. In many other American cities the movement toward municipal-ownership is not less strong. The transformation insentiment has come about in ashort time, but that a change has come no one denies. It was only a few years ago that municipal ownership could be combated simply by calling it socialistic. But mere names no longer have power to frighten _and municipal ownership is now looked upon as only a business solution of an important problem of municipal life. Asa solution it is regarded as good or bad according to the conditions under which it is proposed to put’ the plan into operation. Where the conditions are ripe for municipal ownership itis no longer possible to combat that policy on the ground that it is wrong in principal. The task before the sincere advccates of municipal ownership in the future is not to convince the publie that their idea is correct, but rather to see that the work of municipalization is not undertaken except under conditions that promise real and permanent sucess. Just so sure as the managment of enterprises like. lighting and street-car-systems is undertaken by the city without painstaking and careful consideration and planning will there be blundering and failure. which must be followed inevitably by a reaction against the municipal-ownership idea - itself. Those are the .wisest champions of municipal ownership, therefore who do not seek to ¢rowd on the work of municipalization at too rapid a rate. —Chicago Record.

TRUE AS HOLY WRIT.

It is seldom good policy for a party to make too much of'a new convert. The chances are that if it does so, it will to see the day it will be sorry for it. -~ Let the new convert be content for a few years by marching with the rank and file instead of trying to lead the procession and fix the whole policy of the party. Some of these new converts have very high opinions of themselves, and their views are very pronounced. If leaders in the party who have been lifelong members take issue with the new convert, he gets on his dignity and wants to read the old-timer out of the party, and so it is not always advisable to give the big-mouthed; big-headed convert too much recognition until he has proven himself worthy of it.—Columbia City Post. pri

A Chance for the Boys.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 19.—Indiana Republicans are preparing for the fattest grab in the way of patronage that they have had in a long time. The knowledge that the official pie is to be passed around, however, need cause no precipitate and headlong rush to the pie counter, for the place . will not be available until next spring probaply the first of May. In the work of taking the census of the state,it 'is estimated that' 3,600 people will be employed. There will be a supervisor for each congressional distriet who will draw: from $1,200 to $1,500 pay for the year. He will have charge of the enumeration in his district. © Kach of the army of enumerators will'be -employed for 60 ‘days and will receive $2 a day. Itis understood that the congressmen and senators will furnish the echannel through which the patronage will be distributed. Senator Fairbanks and the republican congressmen have already had a conference on the subjecf and it has been decided that the congressmen in- each district shall have absolute charge of the enumeration in his distriet, the senotors having conceded that point. It may be taken as granted that he will lose nothing by so doing, as the time is coming when he will want the assistance of.the congressmen. 1t is said tne local organization will be consulted in agreeing upon the appointments. Already there is a vast army of applicants and strangely enough, many of them are women, -

Will Not .Do Business,

Auditor of State Hart has punctured the boom of the new life insurance company lately organized at Goshen, but presumably located at Indianapolis. It was known as the Guarantee Life Insurance company. The auditor says he took this action because of fraud. The company was organized early this year, with Fred G. Warren of Indianapolis; Harry Myers of Goshen; Clarence A. Wilcox of Indianapolis; Geo. B. Warren of Goshen, and Jacob B. Slater of Indianapolis, as directors. The law under which the company was incorporated requires that it shall be necessary for a company to be authorized to do business that it have 200 persons insured and ecarrying bonafide insurance in at least $l,OOO each, and that the insured shall have paid $2 on each $l,OOO into a mortuary fund. The company presented its list of of insured and many of them were from this city, Goshen. Kendallville and Garrett. - : Denies the Impeachment. E We have received .from Edwin Meade Robinson of Ligonier, a student of Wabash college, a little volume of verses that carried us back in mind, for the instant, to old times in ‘Lima—the ‘‘golden days,” perhaps, certainly the golden age of that generation thas was then prophetic and hopeful and is now already reminiscent. The father of this young poet was then, if we remember right, a partner in the perpetration of many readable rhymes that found their vmg into the Standard.’ ‘“Teddy” Robinson, as we knew him not long ago, shows no ordinary literary ability in these poems, neatly printed at The Banner office, and we hope to hear more of him in the future.—Lagrange Standard. , Mr. Robinson denies the soft impeachment of the Standard. He says that he never made a rhyme in his life that he can remember. A Successful Qperation. : Mrs. Edson MeNutt, of Ligon ier, who has been a long sufferer of cancer, and who recently came here and has been receiving treatment at the home of her son on Plymouth avenue, yesterday submitted to an operation as a last resort, The work was in chax:ge of Dr. Russell, of Cinginnati, Dr. Anna G. Kaufman and Dg. C, L. Dreese, of this city. The patient rallied from the effects of the o(sxemtion ‘and is now out of danger and on the road to a speedy recovery. —(oshen Times. 4 G

Horticultural Society Meeting. The Noble County Horticultural Society was entertained at the home of D. K. Hitcheock, North Jefferson, on April 13. During the forenoon the gentlemen occupied their time in examining the extensive and systematically arranged farm . buildings and admiring one of the finest flocks of Shropshire sheep in the state, owned by Mr. Hitehcock. AL 12 o’clock an elegant dinner was served to about fifty guests. ; At 1:30 p. m., W. A. Williams spoke on the subject, ‘“‘How Shall We Entertain the State Horticultural Society at the August Meeting.’’ Suggested that those who could would entertain members at their homes, while others would be cared for at hotels.

On the subject, “Xthics in Horticulture.” Mrs. Mary E. Good said in part: ‘‘The subject of horticulture has taken the attention of mankind since the days of Adam. The true spirit of planting trees, flowers, etec., implies a happy and contented mind. People are not content to live on pork and hominy, but require fruits, such as apples, peaches, pears, oranges, ete:” On the subject,- ‘*“Potatoes on the Farm,” Levi Harvey said in part: “Select seed to suit climate and soil; cut to one eye or two: keep a variety as long as it is profitable; prepare your soil by thorough and deep cultivation; furrow five or six inches deep, cover thoroughly and rolls cultivate at first deep, later shallow; cultivate often. To kill hugs use a little hand sprayer.. Recommended White Star, Blue Victor, Everett, Snowflake, Chicago Market, Early Rose, Early Six-weeks and Prize takers.”” He advised early planting. The subject, ‘‘ls the Fruit Tree Agent a Benefit or & Bore,” was discussed by J. €. Kimmell, who said: “There are fruit tree agents who are a benefit and those who are not. The agent who is a benefit is the one who is a practical horticulturist and a man of standing in the community. The one who is not unfrequently a bore is he who comes to you with jars of highly magnified fruit and a large book of highly colored plates, but of whose reliability you are uncertain and who persists in occupying your time in trying to sell you a bill of trees you do not- want, .or at double the price they can be bought for direct from the nursery.” At the August meeting to be held at Rome City, H. M. Widney will discuss ‘“The Pleasures of Horticultural Life.”” At the same meeting Mrs. Isabella Neal will present a paper on the subject, ‘““Making Glad the Waste Places.” ¥ ¥

Highly Complimentary

We are in receipt of the following letter from Hon. S. B. McManus, of Lima, Indiana, who, as a writer, has a wide reputation He pays a high and well deserved compliment to Mr. Robinson, the author,:and it gives us pleasure to reproduce it as follows:

LimA, Ind., April 15, 1899 HoN.J. E. McDoNALD:

My ‘Dear Friend—The unique booklet, “The First Born and Other Poems,” from your .press just received and 1 hasten to write you what I think of it. First of ail, the mechdnical work is almost perfect, and as a whole,from first to finish, it is as pretty as a picture. You evidently understand how to do a bit of artistic work that hasn’ta single flaw in it. I like to turn over Hll?l look at a book like this, with nothing to offend omake one afraid. from a printer’s point of view. As tothe poems, I honestly admit that I do not believe I'am the proper person to judge of their merit. Its author is too well known and too much liked by me for me to coolly sit in judgment upon his work. I think I would find something to like and admire in anything he nright do, but of these poems one need not search to find admirable things. their beauty so far exceeds any possible blemish in them. I like them all. Were 1 younger some of them I could enter into more fully;as it is, the motif of some of them is a sort of a legend to me, a tradition—albeit, a pleasant legend and tradition, You see, “Ted” was a baby in in a whlte dress, with tucks and lace around it, when I was beginning in half earnest to be an old man. Data ilike this you know makes a difference in one’s point of view., There isa finish about the poems which ene looks for and expects in older writers, but forgives the absence -of them in youngerones. I am not in the prophesying business, but I venture this far, that the future holds for Mr. Robinson a splendid career. If he holds to verse and poetry he will have many a heart-ache and disappointment. Itisn'ta flowery way by alarge majority, at least so I have read. God bless him, and may he go on making books and money, until he himself, at least, shall ery enough. Yours with regards. - B. MCMANTUS. Beautiful Wedding. Last evening at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. Schloss, Mr. Simon L. Ackerman and Miss Hattie Schloss were united in marriage by Rabbi Magil.

! Newspapers and the Public. Inasmuch as the newspapers furnish the medium through which the people learn what is going on, they occupy a public position which invests them with the duty of obtaining and printing the news. The newspaper reporter is, in fact,a representative of the people. and when he seeks legitimate information he is exercising a right which no one can properly question or deny. He pursues his calling, not with any purpose or desire to interfere or meddlein the affairs of others, butito discharge a plain obligation to the public. Many otherwise intelligent persons do not seem to understand that it is quite impossible for any one man to defeat or hinder the work of a public journal by refusing to recognize its reporters when they are seeking to exercise their proper prerogative. Nothing can exceed the absurd assumption of individuals in charge of affairs which are of interest and concern to the publie who turns down the newspaper reporter and interferes with the performanece of his duty. The person who takes upon himself such unwarranted authority does not harm the reporter and newspaper so much as he harms the public.—Kansas City Star. ‘ .

The Proposed Electric line.

J. F. Shuman went to Goshen Monday, and from thence to Lagrange, where, in company with Mr W. W. Hateh, of the former place, the interests of the’Goshen and Northeastern Indiana Electri¢c Railway were to be advanced in e nmnneLr that work may soon be expected. This proposed road runs from Goshen to Lagrange,thence to Orland, Angola, Hamilton, Montpelier, and eventually to Toledo. Orland has already signed the contract for twenty-four miles of right-of-way 50 ft. wide.and pledged $20,000 in money, with five acres of land for water house at Orland. Lagrange will no doubt add - many miles to the right-of-way and Angola will do her share of thé work. The purpose of this company apparantly is to build a competing line for the traffic through these rich farming communities and live towns between the two lines of the Lake Shore road. 'The building of a line from Pleasant Lake or Hamilton to connect with this proposed trunk line is a separate matter and its construction and the particular route over which it is to go will no doubt depend largly upon the spirit of the public as to which section desires the road the most.—Waterloo Press,
