Unable to answer the masterly arguments of T.R. Marshall in his Richmond speech, the republican papers are filling their columns with slush about T. Taggart and trying to frighten the people of Indiana into believing that there is danger of the state comiug under his control. This _kind of foolishness may fool a few people who don’t read anything else but those papers, but no intelligent man will be caught that way.—Valparaiso Messenger. * T E RS This estimate of ex-President Cleveland, rendered by Thos. R. Marshall democratic nominee for governor of Indiana, will be read with interestand, eatisfaction: : “Like all men of positive convictions, Grover Cleveland had the faculty of winning intensely loyal friends and of making implacable enemies. His removal from the scene of life has blotted out the dividing line between his friends and foes. Even yet the hour has not arrived to determine definitely his place in our federal history. So masterful was he in public afiairs, so keen of intellect and clear of perception, so large was his influence and his labors in a somewhat trying period of our foreign relations that I presume to say that when the hour comes impartially to judge him, he will loom large in the valhalla of our illustrions dead. ““I think a people mourns a great man gcne. What a splendid tribute it is to our age that when the conflicts of politics have passed we can with one accord bring a sprifi of rosemary for remembrance of suce men as Harrison, McKinley and Cleveland. Their mistakes are all forgotten; their virtues have helped to intensify American manhood and character.” 2. & @@ : A well informed Goshen taxpayer states that the incandescent or commercial lighting plant operated by that city has been loosing atleast $5,000 per year ever since it was started, and that their plant is now worn out and unable to carry the load that it has had for several years. This is the milk in the cheap light cocoanut. This is the secret of the low lighting bills so vociferously proclaimed several months ago as an argument in favor of municipal ownership in Ligonier. That municipal commercial lighting is a failure in Goshen is now admitted; that the taxpayers have been paying for the lights consumed by the other fellows can be shown; and that a large majority of the taxpayers are beginning to realize theil mistake is most evident. In the face of all these failures it would seem that good business men would hesitate before they would risk the people’s _money in a business that must and wiil be a failure. e ; : txzades Wilmer Leonard of Fort Wayne, a prominent attorney and republican " leader in Allen county polities, died very suddenly last Monday night from a stroke of appoplexy. He had been at Albioa during the day as the attorney for S. J. Miller of Wolf Lake, and had returned home in his automobile. Mr. Leonard was a splendid citizen,an excellent lawyer and a staunch friend. He was an native of Allen county and was but 47 years old when } stricken down. His death is a distinct loss to Fort Wayne and to his party in the district where he had a wide and growing influence. ‘ | BRR BEE } The most bitter fight for political supremacy that has been waged in any state of the union during recent years was that just finished in Ten-: nessee between Gov. Patterson and ex-Senator Carmack. This fightlasted continuously for over three months. In intensity it served as a reminderi of the fierce polltical contests waged in Tennessee by Parson Brownlow, who was noted for thundering into the ears of his competitors and enemies "that he would fight them “until hell freezes over.”” Prohibition entered. largely into the Patterson-Carmack contest for the democratic nomination for governor. The former championed local option, while the latter made his fight for out-and-out state prohibition. Patterson won by about 10,000. : e s® e , ‘ The New York Times thinks that Mr. Bryan will appeal to the radical Roosevelt Bepublicans as being the one able to carry out his policies and farthermore that Roosevelt was cheated at Chicago by the platform there adopted so that the Republtcans can not be trusted to carry out his policies. On this the Times says: - oEe The only possible chance for the Democrats to carry the election this year is through the nomination of a man (of sanity and bflsnu;&on a - platform that _woginnomm peace for the country. In other words, the B e i would welcomed 5?5. lmmznngnumber of voters who are wearied of the continual turmoil and alarms of Rooseveltism. The reply of the Reg&&ofll to Mr. Bryan’s umd to the radical Roosevelt men will be that r. Taft will faithfully continue and carry out all the Roosevelt policies ~ that are reasonable, that are demanded by the public welfare and the public - morals, and that it will be safer for the country to intrust their exeeution to 'a man of his steadiness and proved capacity rather than to a politician whopr ‘dan; m& into flelds of policies 6f which the .

The Glorious Fourth It is said of the American people, and by Americans themselves, that they celebrate the Fourth of July barbarously. It cannot be denied that there is some truth in the obsetvation. It is a barbarous celebration in many respects. Itis noisy and noise and racket are barbarous. It is bloody, and that too, is barbarous. It is destructive of life and property, and that is barbarous. But it is useless to protest and to suggest a milder and more civilized manner of celebrating the day. It must be confessed that sometimes those. who criticise become participants in the noisy demonstrations. ‘ There will be the same noise and confusion and shooting and the rest of it so long as the holiday lasts. And gince criticism as a whole remains unheeded, at least precautions to pre= vent unneccessary loss of life and limb and property can be suggested without danger of giving offence unintentionally. Last year the joyous occasion was responsible for more than three hundred deaths from lockjaw. In all, five thousand children were killed maimed or injured. That is a dreadful price to pay, but if the Americah people insist upon paying it nothing can prevent. General syggestions would be along these lines: Be satisfied with a little noise. In this respect, contrary to David Harum, not enough is just about right. Don’t shoot blank cartridges at anybody else and don’t let anybody else shoot them at yous Don’t throw firecrackers about at random and don’t hold lighted firecrackers in your hand. Don’t look to see why the firecracker or cannon or piece of fireworks did’nt ‘‘go off;” five_hundred children had eyes blown out last year. And, lastly, be sensible. — Harrisburg Star-Inde-pendent.
A Stirring Melodrama ““The Wolfla stirring and unusual melodrama from the pen of Eugene Walter, the author of ‘‘Paid in Full” will begin an engagement at the Chicago Opera House Monday night July 6. The piece which has been| one of the big successes in New York| this season direct from the Lyric theatre with the original cast headed by William Courtenay and Ida Conquest. The offering was obtained by the Messrs. Schubert shortly after “Paidin Full” made such a great hit in the metropolis and since that time has been drawing full houses. | The story of the play has to do with a young Scottish girl who is reared in tne remote districts of the Canadian Hudson Bay countty by her father who fears that she may follow in the footsteps of her mother who had not been all that she might in her life. To this remote district a dissolute young man comes who attempts to win the young girl and is nearly successful, when |a young Canadian of upright character comes to the, rescue. One of the great scenes in the play is:where the hero fights in the night with the villain who is known as ““The Wolf.” This scene is said to be one of the most exciting that has been presented in recent years on the American stage. The production is unusually elaborate and as it represents the Hudson Bay country in the Indian summer season gives abundant opportunities for beautiful scenic effects. The cast calls but for six people and the play is unigne and vnusuoal in every particular. The usual matinees will be given. ;
Purdue University The annual catalogue of Purdue University for 1907-8, recently published, called attention to the valuable work per‘ormed by that scientifically practical educational institution. Purdue University is one of the series of agricultural and mechanical colleges that were brought into being by an act of congress enacted during the civil war and signed by Abraham Lincoln July 2, 1893. By this act a part of the public lands was donated to each state for the support of a college in which industrial education should be paramount. There were conditions of state aid and continuous support. In every case, also, public appropriations have been supplemented by private donations. In New York and Indiana certain men were so prominent in these gifts that their name is atached to the institution. Thus Ezra B. Cornell and John ' Purdue have their memoty perpetrated as the prognomen -of universities. The munificence of James M. and Eliza Fowler and Amos Heavilon is also commemorated in buildings at Purdue. Tuition in this university is free to residents of Indiana. Its studies are broad and its professors distinguished for their ability. Iv has its courses in the liberal as well as the industrial arts. It is. in short, onme of the many brilliant opportunities offered to the youth of our land.
Some Men’s Luck—and Foresight The death of Wm. B. Leeds, the financier, calls attention to the wonderful opportunities to be found in the United States. But a few years ago Leeds was a clerk in a Richmond, Ind. railroad office. Previous to that he sold flowers on street corners. He and Dan Reid saw the possibilities offered by land promotion along the Pennsylvania lines; later they became interested in the tin plate business. Within a very few years both accumulated millions. Leed’s fortune at the time of his death is estimated at $85,000,000. His success reads like a chapter in a fairy book. No one credits him with possessing ability above the average except that he could see opportunities.—Lafayette Journal, : po
' .Take Warning! ] " The Goshen taxpayers are beginning to realize that they have a white elephant. A well known citizen writes the Demoerat and among other things says: ° & | “The commercial lighting plant (incandescent) has cest $40,000 morel than it has earned since it was installed. L It would cost $50,000 to put ina plant (incandescent) that would earn a profit and compete with the Hawks Electric Co. ‘ “Water main extension is needed, the street lighting plant should be modernized and extended and new boilers, high pressure, should be installed. Needed improvements on waterworks and street lighting plant will cost $45,000. +*lt will pay the city of Goshen to sell or give away the commercial lighting plant and concentrate its efforts on the water and street lighting plants, If this is done it will -save the $5,000 per year that it costs to operate the commercial plantin excess of what it earns. The income of the water plant may be increased and the streets can be better lighted. God knows they need it. “If things continue much longer under - present conditions the city will face a-serious problem, and it will he much harder to solve than now. -A little investigation will verify all I have said.”
A Jewel ‘When your brow is crowned with roses of success and honor and position sits lightly on your shoulders you feel that the whole world is your friend and in one sense of the word. you are correct, but when the hand of adversity falls on your head and your eyes are made to behold the thorns in your pathway, when the sunshine. goes out of your life and dame fortune turns her back upon you, ’tis then you realize the depths of truth hidden in that old proverb, “Man’s jinhumanity to man makes countless millions mourn.” Wealth and position, ‘tis true, bring friends, such as they are, but when your life is almost crushed out with the burdens of some overwhelming misfortune and you feel the weight of a caressing hand and hear the glad ring of melody as some one says, ‘‘Cheer up, old man, I am still your friend,” 'tis then that you realize that the world is not all bad and that you are in possession of one of God’s choicest blessings—a true ' friend. Oh, consistency, truly thou art a jewel.— Benjamin Post.
A Terrible Injury Samuel Smoker aged 50 years, living two and a half miles southeast of Gosh’en, met with a horrible accident in the hay fields Saturday. A Keystone patent combination hay rake and loader was being used. The machine caught Smoker’s trouser leg, and a tooth or prong of therake ran into the right thigh and penetrated \ybe abdomen. Smoker was lifted up shrieking and squirming, wriggling like afly on a pin.. The son, who was driving, stopped the horses before his father was throw onto the incline and lifted him off. The tine :had caught in the omentum, the fatty apron which covers the bowels, a strip of which six inches long was drawn out. A doctor was called from Goshen. When he arrived Smoker was cold, as if dead and his pulse had slowed to 48. The physician severed the protruding omentum, replacing the remaining portion, and the bowels were not severed or punctured, and expects Smoker to recover.—Goshen NewsTimes. '
The German Car Ahead The New York-Paris automobile race is still going on with three cars in the contest. The Protos car, Germany’s representative, after a fast trip from Irkutsk. reached Kousk, Biberia, at 8:36 o’clock, Friday morning. The auto left Irkutsk Sunday and the distance of 5356 miles was covered at the rate ol twenty-six miles a day, which Siberian experts regard, under conditions, a phenominalrecord. The car was equipped Irkutsk with powerful searchlights and is traveling night and day. The Protos’ next objective is the Siberian river Yeneseei, 166 miles west. The American- automobile, Thomas, is reported to have arrived at Irkutsk, Sunday, twenty-four hours behind the Protos. Nothing has been heard of the Zust since it left Charbin on June 19, ' 5
Causes of Grover Cleveland’s Death The diseases which were the immediate cause of the death of Grover Cleveland were of the circulatory kinds common to men of exalted position on whom the burdens of great responsibility rests. Large men are prone to diseases of a degenerative type. In time a weakness in the heart and yascular system generally follows thatis apt to reach a sudden conclusion in a seasson of almost tropical heat such as we are at present experiencing, In view of the fact that the organs of the body are undergoing degenerative changes the resisting power is enfeebled to the breaking point, so that a fatal termination more easily takes a place from the prevailing atmospheric conditions, precipitated by the intensity of the humidity and the heat.—New York Herald.
Splendid Outlook - Secretary of Agriculture Wilson says the prospects all over the country for good crops could not be better.

' Baloon Contest On July 4 the Aeronautique club of Chicago and the Federation of American Aero clubs will hold an international ballooning contest, starting from Aero park in Chicago at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. As the majority of the contestants will sail low until the following morning, it is earnestly requested that no sky rockets or fire works be sent up in any section while the baloons are passing, and that no blank cartridges or loaded pistols be fired in the air while a baloon is in sight., Mr. Chas. J. Gidden’s baloon, ‘*Boston,” was struck by two bullets during his recent flight over Massachusetts. The result of the contest n.eans much to every pilot entered, and it is to be hoped the thoughtless will refrain from interfering with the contestants or endangering their lives. :
- Greatest Of All Labor Leaders | John Mitchell, late president of the Mineworkers’ organization, faces a future that opens in wide and promising vistas. He .has been offered a place by the National Civic Federation as a general mediator in labor difficulties at $6OOO salary a year. The Democrats of Illinois show a strong inclination to nominate him for the governorship and a very decided sentiment prevailsin the Democratic party favoring him for the second place on the ticket with Mr. Bryan. Naturally, Mr. Mitchell, who is equipped and fit for any of these places, is somewhat puzzled when he surveys the future, He would make an amazingly strong candidate for governor of Illinois and in all probgbility would be elected. On the ‘ticket with Mr. Bryan he would attract a great following to the Democracy.—Fort Wayne Sentinel. :
May Come To Ligonier - Rev. I. W.

The Way They Do 1t A man from Atlanta was showing to some friends what looked like a big cigar wrapped in tinfoil. He took it out of a breast pocket and it looked for all the world like one of these expensive smokes. ‘I got this down in Atlanta,” he said. ‘lt must have been a good cigar to bring it up all this way,”’ remarked one of the group. “Jlt is'nt a cigar,” said the traveler. He peeled off the tinfoil and displayed a cigar-shaped bottle filled with whiskey. “You know Georgia is prohibition.now,” he said.
Boys Who Will Not Be Wanted ! Boys who walk the streets with their hat on the back part of their head.- and long hair hanging over their foreheads, with cigarettes and vulgarity in their mouth, are cheaper than old shoes; nobody wants them at any price.

Ex Editor Suicides D. A. Fawcett who was postmasterat LaGrange during the second Cleveland administration and for several years the editor of the LaGrange Democrat, killed himself one day last week rather than go to jail. It seems that Fawcett developed into a banker and had been operating at Aberdeen, Ohio; for over five years. The bank failed a few weeks ago and an examination developed coneiderable crookedness and Fawcett was about to be arrested charged with misappropriating the fnnds. When the officers entered his home to arrest him he placed a revolver at his head and pulled the trigger, death resulting instantly. Fawcett left LaGrange under a cloud.

A Heroic Act . ‘ A terrible tragedy was narrowly averted at Goshen last Sunday by the bravery of two' gentlemen, who happened to be good swimmers. A picnic party was trying to cross the river in an over-loaded boat when it capsized, throwing three women, three men and two young children into water, ten feet deep. None of the:party could swim and all became frantic, making the rescue extremely hazardous. All were rescued, however, but only after a contest against great odds. :
. A Fakir : Rev. “Bully” Sunday says that ‘“‘most preachers are stiffs and salary quacks.”” Now a Pittsburg parson comes back and calls the base ball evangelist a “monumental religious fakir and a cataclysmic converter of sinners at s§lo a head—a pulpit bargain harlequin who uses the cloak of Christianity to fatten his purse.” Round one, with even honors and both brothers sparring for wind.— Hartford City Telegram. 1 Cromwell Man Injured | Dan Cress is .recovering from the injures received in the tumble he took while working on the school building at Syracuse.
