The publisher of The Independent has owned and .controlled it for one year. The year has been an exceptional one for The Independent, characterized by a growth unsurpassed by any publication in the history of Plymouth. The publisher has witnessed the Daily circulation almost double and the Weekly increased nearly one-third. Not only this, but the advertising patronage is today almost thrice what it was the year previous. During the year a large amount of new type has been pLaced in the job department, and in consequence the footings in the job account book show that this department has more than doubled :s earnings over the previous year . During the first nine months of

the present management, exclusive attention was given to the upbuilding of the Daily edition and the job department, but since the first of May very successful efforts have been made to widen the field of The Weekly Independent. While we cannot claim the largest weekly circulation at the present time, we are aware that if the present growth continues until September, no Plymouth publication will reach a greater number of homes. The Weekly Independent hftfl circulation of nearly 1,200. The causes for the marvelous changes in the fortunes of this paper are many. Careful business management; the high standard of i lorals, as shown in its news columns; the fairness of its editorial columns; the mechanical neatness all are factors in the paper's succe-. It is with sanguine hopes that the present management begins another year. Too MUCH EDITOR. The bungled apology in Thursday evening's News for its scurrilous

attack upon Sheriff Marshall was quite in keeping with its ideas of cross-roads journalism. It states that the news item which assaile Sheriff Marshall inadvertently crept into its columns. Think of it! The idea of such a slanderous article creeping into a publication which ought to maintain its self respect. Not merely did it creep into the publication but it crawled right up to the top of the first editorial column. The apology is a lie on its very face. It would seem that even its partisan readers would sour on such reckless journalism. A publication that has such little regard for the reputation of the citizens as to allow such cowardly and malicious editorials, should be cast into the sewer with the bilge water. The truth is that the conemporary is suffering from "Too much editor." I5LAMK KOK SHOTAGE I.N STAMPS. The public should bear in mind that the blame for any shortage in stamp supply rests not with the government , but with the senate inance committee, which refused to grant to the treasury department time enough to provide anything ike an adequate supply of stamps or the new emergency. As for he war taxes themselves, much of he inconvenience attending them will shortly disappear. Designed expressly to furnish the United states with the sinews of war, they will assuredly roll up a very handsome income for I'ncle Sam in uniorm. Hoston Globe. After twenty years of legal fightng mainly in the federal courts, a eavenworth, Kas., won an, who was bound to recover the insurance on her husband's life, got the state administration to back her in a suit n the Kansas state courts, and at ast secured $22,100 which included nterest on the policies of one com pany. Of this sum the lawyers got half under the original contract made when the suit was first instiuted. During the pendency of the suit the woman married acrain. She says that the company from which she has recovered had been "sandbagged" by its own Kansas attorney. She expects now that other companies concerned will pay up. Probably within a week the Hon. Chas. Kellison will decide whether or not he will make another race or congress in this district. Mr. M. M. Hathaway and ex-4enator Vol. Zimmerman will then detlnitcy define their position relative to submitting their names to the consideration of the convention. ExCongressman C. G. Conn peremptorily declines to permit the use of his name in connection with the nomination. South IJend Times. Commodore Jachley will come in for due credit for the part taken by him in causing the destruction of Cervera's squadron. The fighting that resulted in this signal victory for the American Meet was done under his direction, Admirel Sampson having been engaged elsewhere

and coming to the scene of action just as the work of destroying Cervera's Beet had been Completed. So, as a matter of fact, it was Commodore Schley who "did up" the Spanish fleet at .Santiago. There seems to have been a gross rv.isrepresentation of facts concerning the alleged brutalitv of the sailors of La Hourgogne at the time of the sinking of that vessel. According to first reports ovei half the crew escaped, while not more than a tenth of the passengers were saved. An investigation show-, however, that only thirty of the crew found safety and that many of them died making heroic attempts to rescue the women and children under their care.

Gen. Jasper Packard says in the New Albany Tribune; The temporary absence of Sampson gave Schley the grandest opportunity of the war. He w ill never regret that Cervera's tleet came out at that opportune moment. Then his tre mendous energy came to the front and the man who bottled up the Spanish fleet found the oppoitunitv to destroy it, and improved it with resistless vigor." A Chicago trade circular says that the visible supply of wheat i less now than at any time since 1S60, avJ that it is less per capita in the world than for thirty years. The receipts are not half what they were a year ago and in Chicago alone the number of bushels on hand is less than at any time in the last quarter of a century. The Leiter boom brought about this change. The Terror has ceased to be a terror. When the war broke out the Spanish torpedo boat of that name was to play a prominent part in the contests on the water, but Captain Sigsbee made short work writh it by sending it to San Juan in a sinking condition. The Terror is is a typical Spaniard, all brag and bombast but nothing behind it but Spanish "honor." Henry Clews, the New York financier, estimates that the war will be a saving to this country in the matter of foreign travel of at least $50,000,000. This money which ordinarily goes abroad will be spent at home this year. The railroads and other transportation companies of the United States will be large gainers. Admiral Sampson feels chagrined that he was away when his fleet destroyed Admiral Cervera's licet off Santiago last Saturday. The destruction of Spain's navv will close the war. Ex-Secretary Whit ney must feel recompensed for the abuse that was heaped upon him for building large ships, etc. When Spain begs for peace, as she must sooner or later do, it will be given out in Spain that we are doing the begging, and when Spain surrenders all of its colonics the Spaniards will probably be told that the United States has been forced to take them.

Four hundred people were comfortahi) sealed under the canvas, arid the grand entry was announced. At the saue time dark eiouds obscured the s?ky and it was evident that a storm was approaching. The storm came and the rain descended on terra tirma. Down went the oh; tent, and for a time panic reigned supreme. Men, women and child! eo were struggling to get from under 'he big canvas, and in two minutes everyone prtteol was accounted for, but a more dilapidated looking lot Of people would be hard to find. They were drenched to the skin, and when they showed up on the streets they were sorrowful looking mortals. There were several who narrowly escaped injury, and others were scared almost ut of ihfir wits. Onje man, Jotiab Kline, an inmate of the county infirmary, was struck over the right eje with one of the side poles, which made an ugly wound, bupt. Kruyer took him to the office of Dr. How, where his wound was dressed. Orphans' Home Will be Closed. The Orphans' home in this county will be closed.

I thought that I would write to thank you for your kindness In tending me tho.e things in that small sac.. They came very handy to me as such things are very scarce down here where I am. Well, we have a good time here; the recruits came Friday evening arid they were not accustomed to the rainy weather and the hot climate. The rainy season has begun here now and every evening it rains very hard. Some evenings the water 19 live to six inches deep in the tents where we sleep. With many ttianks to you for your kindness in sending me those things. 1 am Yours Respectfully, Edward E. Uayes.
