Samuel Gompers, piesident of the Federation of Labor, is strongly opposed to ;he annexation of the Philippine islands. In a speech delivered at Saratoga, N. Y., last Saturday, he said: The most reckless advocate of annexation of the Philippine islands, or of any populous island of the group, must admit that this program involves the government and domination of the many by the few, to an extent and degree never before known under the American Hag. We have civilized savages against their will in the process of our uprooting of Indian tribes, but never where it was not reasonably certain that their places would soon be taken by a settled white population many times as great as any wilderness occupied only by nomadic hunters and warriors. In the Philippines, with its seven or eight millions, in an area of less than half that of Texas, no such change can ever take place. "The whole moral effect of the acquisition of the Philippine islands, its semi-savage population, must be to undo what has been accomplished by organization and education upon the lines of social, economic, political and moral reform, particularly in raising the standard of living for the wage earners of the United States, It will tend to breed con

tempt for the manual toiler and encourage the pernicious notion that the strong may properly exploit the weak and be used to furnish the luxuries for an oligarchy. DEATH OF EX-ttOV. MATTHEWS. In the death of Ex-Governor Claud Matthews, the state of Indiana loses one of her ablest men, and the democratic partv an invincible leader. He was but little past his 52nd year. Claud Matthews was a farmer by vocation and devoted his entire attention to farming, except his few years of oflicial life. He served in the legislature, was secretary of state anil governor. In 1S96 he

was the choice of Indiana for the presidencv. The deceased was strong on the stump and was faniliar with all public interets. No man in Indiana had a greater number of personal friends. lie was in the very prime of life. WANTS A GOOD FISH LAW. In speaking of how to protect the game fish in Indiana streams and gtt rid of the German carp, Judge Elliott, of Marion county, says: "The only way to get rid of the carp is to permit seining at certain times of the year. Let the law state the time when it may be done, and, between seasons, compel all owners J seins to deposit them with a fish warden or someone authorized to take care of them. Seining will remove very few of the game fish The law ought also to make dynamiting of streams a penitentiary offense. STRICKEN WITH PAKAI.VSIS. It was with much regret that our people learned this morning that Ex-Governor Matthews was stricken with paralysis yesterday while addressing a large meeting of old settlers in Montgomery county. lie had been speaking about an hour when he suddenly exclaimed "I feel so very queer." lie would have fallen had not friendly hands prevented. Fatal results are apprehended. The friends of the ex-governor will await with anxiety further tidings of his condition. Ugly charges were preferred against the supreme officers of the order of Knights of Pythias, by some representatives to the supreme session held at Indianapolis. The Sentinel published the charges with out giving the name of its informant, and is now confronted by a lible suit instituted by R. L. C. White, the supreme keeper of Records and seals. The interview set out that two years ago, there was a reserve fund in the hands of the treasurer of $60,000. This large sum was alleged to have all disappeared, and the supreme oiheers were obliged to borrow $20,000 to meet the expenses of the 1S9S session. On the surface the charges seem to be discredited, while the officers whose integrity has been assailed assert that there is nothing wrong. The libel suit was instituted in order that the matter can be settled in court and thus remove all grounds for allegations of whitewashing or covering up. The supreme officers receive large salaries and liberal allowances for travel ir.g and other expenses, and it may be that these large expenditures gave rise to suspicion and crooked work. It is stated that Indiana has thus far paid out for her soldiers in the Spanish war $161,983.84. In addition to this she turned over to the government all the equipment of the Indiana national guard, worth $100,000. S Indiana's bill to be sent in to Uncle Sam is in the neighborhood of $300,000. Judging from the pictures of the Philippine Islands seen in the magazines, there is a large field of operation for dress reform in the islands. Election day will occur this year on November 8. Those who intend moving from one township to another should do so before Sept. 8. ( )therwise they will not be eligible to vote in their Dew home.

A Narrow K e. Chas. Curtis had a runaway in Culver Sunday afternoon. He was turcing his horse around in front of the Reformed church at that place when the animal gave a sudden wheel and started off. Mr. Curtis stayed in the carriage until he 6aw the horse was lost to his control. He then jumped and luckily received no injuries. Hardly was he safe before the buggy struck an obstacle and turned its top to the ground, Mr. Curtis was thankful to know that he had escaped a ride in an inverted vehicle lie might have been as badly used up as the vehicle lteelf .

Wreck on the L. E. & W. At noon Monday the L. K. A: W. freight train from the south collided with a stationary engine and line of cars which stood on the sidetrack in front of the depot. The immeJiate cauee of the accident was an open switch, supposed to have been left so by a brakeman. The engineer discovered the danger in time to avert a serious wreck. The two cow-catchers were welded together by the shock, but the boilers and machinery remained in tack. After an hour's hard work with chisel and mallet the throttles were opened and the engines parted. Irretrievably Innaiie. (ieorge Robins, of Bourbon, is now conlined in the jail previous to his third trip to Longcliffe. Sunday he ap peared id several places of worship in Bourbon and upon the streets in an attire and manner which was characteristic of a crazy man only. His talk is all irrational. He babbles away whole rhapsodies in prose. Monday he underwent the medical examination necessary to his committal. On two previous occasions he has visited Longcliff and returned home apparently a sane man. It is thought that no permanent relief can be furnished. StantlltiK Itoom only. Last night the attendance at the Columbia theatre reached the high water mark and the (Iraham Karle company satisfied the immense audience with an excellent performance. The special ties were roundly applauded and those who endured the discomfort of standing through the entire play were so well entertained that they frgt to complain. .lust ll'J tickets for stand ing room were sold last night and the treasurer's balance sheet shows there were 1,500 people in the house.

Wednesday night the eldest daughter returned from Plymouth where she has been since Saturday last. She met her father on the streu, and after the usual affectionate salutation he said to the daughter that he intended going awav. The daughter replied, "Why, papa, where are you going?"
