-~ .THE HAUNTED PALACE By Edgar Allan g"de ‘ l THE dominant note of Poe’s verse gives the 'key to his soul and ex- l plains the transient moods under which his lyrics were composed. He was a devetee to beauty, but his large mind, Hluminated with unusual intuition, apprehended. the si'gnifica.nce of creation in the appalling as well as in ‘the beautiful,- and to his mental touch these antipodal phases became interchangeable and were sometimes unified.—National ' .

J. B. Stoll, the veteran editor of the South Bend Times, delivered an excellent address before the Industrial a’ss()ciatimgat Indianapolis, Tuesday, He said, among other things,that the chief object of the Industrial association is to lift the iron heel of despotism off the neck of industry and to strip the fetters of boudage’ from the limbs of labor. His words met a hearty response when hesaid, *lf, upon a careful and dispassionate review of the industrial situation, it ghall be found.that there is truth in the statement attributed tothe late Marcus A. Hanpa, ‘that laborhas not shared adequately in the prosperity of the country,” and that in any part of che industrial ‘world labor is not justly or adequately compensated,let me express the earnest’ hope that it shall be considered a, part of the duty of those in authority in this organization to'see to it that the great public is assured that their efforts shall be directed towards securing-full justice wherever injustice may be found to exist. I bave faith in'the average employer being willing to accord to labor liberal, generous and just compensation. The overwhelming majority of them were once wage-workers themselves, and -this fact gees far towards strengthening the belief that their disposition is to be just to their employes.”’—lndianapolis Independent, ' e e a 0 An employer of women says that in all his fifteenyvears of business experience he has never received a valuable suggestion from a féminine ‘source. He probiably didn’t hire women with any such expectations, the chances are he emp’loy@ed them because they were cheaper than men. ° eRRR R - i

The Memphis Commercial Appeal notes in the democratic press of the north and east a-marked drift tewards Mr. Cleveland. It.does not itself favor Mr. -Cleveland’s nominasion, declaring that it would pick out *‘some able democrat like Judge QGr'a-y of Delaware.”” But more important just now than consideration of the candidate, it thinks, is crystallizing opinion as to the platform. This is its' notion of the kind of platform wanted : v

We want a winming' fplat‘form and a winning-candidate; and when we say this we do not nfean a platform so full of compromise and surrender as to signify nothing, andfg)'findistincc:in'its outline that 1t might be taken for either a hawk or a hernshaw. As there is no longer any financial issue before the country, we can see no more need of having a pronouncement upon it than upon the Southern Confederacy or the territorial integrity of Manchuria. The trusts, however, constitute a live issue, and as the protective tariff is the mother of itrusts, it too has become a live issue. Tariff revision is imperatively demanded. There is strong need of a vigorous protest against graft in the White House ‘and the various:departments, against presidential usurpations of power, against favoritism and nepotism and the attendant injustice to men who have served their country faithfully and well. We believe that the present administration has been one of the most disereditable, lawless and extravagant in the history of the republic, and its many derelictions and imperfections may well be held up te public condemnation and scorn. . e i o < :

.%22%R R 7 . The discussion of the Panama treaty brought out some facts regarding the attitude of democratic leaders gnd statesmen of half a centruy ago. These - reyelations are to be credited to Senators Clarke of Ax'lqaxlsasd.and Simmons of North Carolina, who put themselves to the trouble of extensively delving into. political history. This was splendidly utilized by the two seénators named in vindicating the action of more than one-half of the democpatié side of the senate. They made it clear that it was the chief aim of IZ'ejwis Cass, Stephen A. Douglas, Quitman, Hammond and many of the other leaders of the Democracy in its great days half a ‘century ago and earlier _ that the Unitdd States was destined to spread all over the hemisphere, from the Artic ocean to Cape Horn. It was not sl(tnvery, either that was responsible for this aspiration, for neither Cses nor Dougless was a lovef of slaveIy, Q,lthough each of these had a hand, by their popular soverign doctrine— Cass as the inventor of the theory and Douglas as Its patentee—in the attempt to let slavery intg the territories. vAn ocean-bound Republic was the dream of Douglas. ‘Manifest destiny’’ is what he called it. : ®RR R ' The war now in progress and the possibilities of other nations becoming . involged therein should prompt every farmer in the country to prepare for nfiking ‘“the effort of his lite” during the present year. Farm products of nearly every description are high-priced and are likely to remain so for -some time. Hence every foot of tillable soil shouldgbe utilized to produce something. Even yacant town lots might with advantage be *‘farmed this - year. ‘“‘Make hay while the sun shines’’ is a maxim not to remain unheeded or unobserved at times like the present. Puton a little extra steam, ye - tilers of the soil. Demonstrate what you can doin the case of an emer- | gency. Seize the golden opportunity; it may not present itself next year. —South Bend Times. '~ ~ e 1 ' e LBN ERE - Ligonier and Noble county lost a good citizen in-the death of David Wysop:g., He was one of those sturdy, substantial citizens who go‘to make . up the'Conservative element of the community. A Democrat of the old schodl, a willing and active party worker, he will be missedin the councils - of his party. Mr. Wysong had the confidence of %11 who knew him and the respect of those who had come in contact with him during his business ~ career. In an official capacity he had but a single thought, the performance of-his oéfl_fifi&fit‘!fi,kho_nesfly and completely. : -

The Right To Spank Pupils, The 3,543 members of the Brooklyn School Teachers’ association have with practical unanimity signed petitions for a restoration of the good old privilege of spanking. : = . The movement is not confined to Brooklyn. Schoel teachers everywhere are practically in agreement on this question. ' It is not to be assumed that these teachers want to be permitted to spank because they enjoy it. It is not a pleasure but a painful duty which they asked to have put upon the);n. . There has been a lot of maudlin se%timentality against corperal punisl’i}sment in the public schools. And it is to be observed that in about the same proportion that this sentimentality has prevailed reformatories and juvenile courts have become necessary. : .

Not very long ago the principal of the high school at Evanston, 111., declared that the law which forbids corporal punishment was in a large part responsible for the bandit evil

that seemed to be epidemic among boys in Chicago and vicinity. ' “Darn you, you dassent touch me”’ —the too common cry of deflance to the teacher— is the first expression of incipient despéradoism. It embraces contempt for law and convie-

tion that liberty and license rise above it. It puts abad boy ina wrong mental and moral attitude towards society. : , Q‘l(a)re I;J—l;rovements at Elkhart. Confirmation of the report that the Lake Shore would probably double the capacity of the new gravity yards at Elkhart next summer appears in the following paragraph in the railway news column of the Chicago Record-Herald of a recent date: “Owing to the rapid increase- in freight {traffic the management of the Lake Shore has decided to double the capacity of the freight yards at Elkbhart, making provision there for between 8,000 and 10,000 ears. The enlarged . yards will be the largest freight yards in the country,and will £0 a long way towards 'relieving the congestion at Chicago. The experience of the company during recent cold months was the moving factor in determining to make the improvements at Elkhart, which will cost several hundred ‘thousand -dollars. Besides the enlarged yards the comrany will erect a new eighty-stall round house, a large bunkhouse for engine and train crews, and a restaurant which will be run by the company and in which- the employees will be fed at cost.” » We Need Better Service. The mail service from Ligonier west in the evening is getting to be simply.abominable. Under the new atrangement the out going mail i taken on the fly by the fast train and often the sack is missed altogether ‘and at other times thrown under the ‘wheels and ground te pieces. Last ‘evening a bag and its contents was strewn for rods and most. of it delstro;*ed. It is indeed strange that a city the size of Ligonier should be compelled to accept such railway mail service. The ordinances regarding the speed of trains in the city limits might be dug up by the mayor or somebody else who warits the laws enforeed. i - ; A Rush for Seats.

- Never before in the ‘history of Findlay was there such a crush for seats as occurred at _Fréy’s,drug store last night for second night of the Elks’ ministrels. The grand success is wholly due to the ability of C. Geo. Nunn, a professional director.—Findlay Ohio Record. Mr. Nunn: will direct the Elks’ Ministrels here for their entertainment on the 14th and 16th. o & ; . Married in Dél{ota. A quiet wedding occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Tolbert Maupin of this city last Saturday, February, 20,1904, when T. J. Maupin, of Leslie, South Dakota and Miss Rosa Benthine, of Ligonier, Indiana, were made man and wife, Rev. Greene of this city officiating. Miss Benthine is a bright, pleasant and handsome young lady of refined tastes and lovable disposition. She is quite well known here and at Leslie, where she has spent much of her time during the last two years. Mr. Maupin has a host of friends htre and at Leslie. He is an industrious stockman and well situated financially. The Journal joins their many friends here in ‘Wishing them 4 long and . happy life ‘ with joy and.sunshine on every hand.

. David Wysong Dead. il Our community mourns the loss of another excellent citizen in the death of David Wysong, who died at his ‘home north of the city on Friday last after an illness of several months. He was 65 years, 10 months and 26 days old at the time of his death. David Wysong was born'in Preble county, Ohio, in 1838. He was educated in the common schools of the gay, spending his summers upon the farm. In 1859 he was married to Miss Marie A. Wagner, who died but a few years ago. To this union were born seven children, six of whom survive their respected parents. For over thirty years Mr. Wysong and his family have resided in the township, where they have a wide circle of friends and relatives. |

Thirteen years ago Mr. Wysong and wife became residerits of Ligonier, Mr. Wysong entering the grocery business, buying the establishment just north of the post office, now owned by J. B. Smith. He made a

success of the venture but his health became so precarious that he found it necessary to sell and he &gain returned to the farm.

Mr. Wysong as a child was a member of the German Lutheran church, of which denomination his ‘mother was a consistent member. He always held a great veneration for religion and especially the beliefs of his mother.. In politics, Mr. Wysong was a Democrat and for years was one of the ‘infiuential and active members of his party in this part of the county. He was several times honored by his party and he served the people in his official capacity with honor and credit not only to himself but to his party. : The funeral last Sunday afternoon at the U. B..church was largely attended, a great number of his old friends and neighbors from the.country being present to pay their last tribute of respect to their departed neighbor. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Thomas G. Pearce D. D.,of the Presbyterian chureh, assisted in the services by Rev. D. Robinson. The burial was at the Ligonier cemetery. .

Potatoes Scarce, ¢ - Potatoes are rapidly becoming a luxury. Eighty ¢ents a bushel is being paid for'them, and it is predicted by not a few that the price will climb to a figure far.beyond the dollar mark before another crop’ is placed upon the market. Farmers and merchants have just discovered that there is a great scarcity of this most -popular vegetable. It seems that a large portion of the potatoes that lay buried in the earth during the winter months and some of those that were kept in cellars did not escape the extreme cold but were so badly frosted that they were unfit for use. The people are just beginning to fully realize how severe the winter of 19031904 really has been, and what hardships it may yet bring. . : v A Bold Robbery ~ The Lake Shore depot at Bryan was broken into about four o’clock Monday morning and about sixty dollars of money was taken. ‘Oper?tm Deal, who was working.at the time of the robbery, was knocked in the back of the head and pounded until he was unconseious, and one robber stood guard oyer their helpless victim while the other made the rounds of the depot, searching in every place, and drawers-that were locked were torn open and relieved of their contents. From the cash drawer they extracted what was there and then went through some employees clothes hanging in the offie, gaining considerable money belonging to the employees, though the exact amount ‘could not be learned.
