"PRoxE No IS That sterling Indiana Demoerat, Hon. Johir . Lamb, waas the subject of & warm discussion in the United States senate [ast Friday. The talk Was precipitated by s republican senator who asked that the {nterview published at Indisoapolis in which Mr. Lamb criticised the democratic sountors who voted with Aldrich. be read. This was done and Senator Hailey of Toxas, and several other trust representatives who were elected as Democrats, took occasion to expliain their position. The Lamb inter view was to the point. He severely criticised the so callad democratic sepnators whio recently voted in lavor of s duty onarticles which the demo cratic national pistform declared should be placed on the free list. He also deciared that every democratic senator who does not support an income tax ansendment Ushould not hereafter be regarded as a party man by his associates,” and should not be permitted to take part in a demoeratic caucus. These men are as lame in their excuses as were Senators Tilden and MeUarty iu thelr desertion of the democratic cancus at ludisnapolis Inst winter. : i o 8 e 0 Several of the Bouthern democratic senators who voted with the Ald rich crowd on some of the tarifl iteins are baing bitterly condemned by their conatituents, And whas is more candidates for their seats are spring ihg up in thelr states. The result doubtless will be, that some of the recreant seuators will lose thelr jobs and retire into a deserved obscurity. Such an ending would serve thewn right., The masses of the people of this couns try, and of every state in it, are opposed to the Aldrich schedules, which are arranped for (snd by the trusts and other protected gpecial mu-rw:fl'i Lt is erpecially true that all real Democrats Are opposed to the Aldrich pro- | posalx, “The Dingley law was a legislative infamy, but the new one we are | likely to get I 8 certain to be even worse. - , e s anrr s - The clamor of alot of neighborhood gossips and the undue activity of | several Wabash county officials was the cause of a terrible wrong to Dr sSnearly of Roann who has just been exonorated of the murder of his wife | after a carcful and exhaustive analysis of the body made by flve eminent | doctors, Mrs. Snearly died of natural causes as was clearly shown by H:-»i autopay. but a lot of busy tongues soon started stories of domestic infelicity | polson, death struggles, strychinine and all kKinds of eruelty. Interested rela- § tives wiio did notlike the doctor fanned the fiames,over-zealous officials got ] busy and the dootor was soon in [sil protesting bisinuocence. He felt that be could. not. get justice in Wabash county and demanded a change of venue | The case was sent to Whitley county and tried before Judge Wrigley. The ’ evidence was so conflicting that Judge Wrigley very sensibly ordered a| complete exalnination of the body and thorough analysis of the vital; organs. He appointed doctors of unquestioned ability, and the examina- | tion was made at the expense of the taxpayers of Wabash county. 1 !u»; report was unanamous, that there was absolutely no grounds fot auy charge against the youug doctor. The doctor hias very sensibly returned to Roaun, | where he will continue his practice. It would seem that the people down | there would do all in thelr power to undo the terrible wrong that has been | done against the young man, Time will bring Its punishment to the soul- | less gossips and the over-zealous officials who have vainly tried to punish | an innocent Iman, v . : } ' . e*o e | “At the recent convention of the American Academy of Medicine, fluv% contract plan of employing & physician was advocated. Families with | small incomes could pay $5 a year, and the physician having oversight cf‘ their health would be able to ward off many attacks of sickness. The w«-l‘k?3 people, rather than the sick, would thus support the doctor. The plan is already in operation in some mining districts and manufacturing centers. | though- so modified that the employer pays most of the physician's salary § G e eoo ese i One of the laws that came out of the Hughes' investigation of the ln-,:g insurance companies in New York last year was a provision that ouly so | much business can be written each year. The purpose of this legislation | was evidently to help out the smaller and weaker companies. If this wns} the intent, it has fallen far short of expectation for the people will not take the chances. They want their policies in the big companies just as dapuarg tors like to have their money in banks of recognized soundness and un-, quéstioned management, and the business of the smaller companies has not only shown but little or no increase, but many of them are falling off in business. In the meantime the New York Life and other big companies are compelled to turn away business that is offered. They have curtailed their fleld force and must wait befora they can offer the people the protection that they demand. A law to curtail the sales of the big stores in Chicago in the interest of the amaller back-street merchant, & law to restrict the number of passenger trains over the Lake Shore so as to give competing lines a chance, or a statuary prohibition against banks accepting deposits beyond a certain amount would be as sensible as the law in question. Policy holders in the great companies, all over the land are interested in the betterment of these insurance companies. They took out their policies in these companies because of their confidence in their ability to pay their losses and any curtailment of the opportunity or enterprise of these companies would seem to be against public policy and wrong in principle. : f : _ - ‘ s aw e f - The people of St. Joseph county are to be congratulated upon the outcome of the trial of William Fleming, a notorious bunco-steerer and confidence man, arrested in South Bend a few months ago, charged with swindling a Cleveland Sunday School teacher and good ecitizen out of $lOOOO in & fake prize fight. The jury, after hearing the evidence, found that Fleming was the man and he will not work his game for several Years .owing to the rules and regulations at Michigan City. The whole proceeding was shady. The Cleveland man was in the deal thinking to get the other man for & big sum of money, and lost; but proceeded to get even and was so quick about it that three of the fellows were soon in the hands of the police. Through some technicality two of them got away but Fleming was held. Every artifice of the shrewd lawyer, every weak spot in the law was used to get him out of the deal, to no purpose. He could not convince the jury that he was the innocent party in the face of the overwhelming evidence that he had worked many other schemes of a like nature. The right man was caught and he was given the right kind of punishment. We have no sympathy with the fellow who lost the £lO,OOO but he performed a good service when he got even by invoking the law. It will putat least one of these scoundrels out of business for a time and prove that there are some communities in which it is dangerous to ply their trade. - i : RRN RN : . Virgil A, Greiger, editor of the Churubusco Truth, died last Friday after a short ilimess. Overwork and a nervous collapse, is given as the direct cause. Mr. Greiger was comparatively young having been born near Marium in this county, forty-two yearsago. He was an indefatigable worker of wonderful energy and adility. He not only edited the Truth but he gave his personal attention to the management of the telephone bmineu'i at Churubusco and that part of the county. His paper, the Truth, had a peouliar style of ite own, It was Virgil Greider and reflected his personality from the first. He said many things that few editors have had the courage to say and his language eould not be misunderstood.
