Representative Charlie Landis of the Ninth Indiana district will open the Iowa campaign at Des Moines, October 7. The celebrated case ot Captain Carter has been disposed of by sen tencing him to five years' imprison ment and imposing a $5,000 fine. F.verv time a trust boosts the price of its product it has read some explanation bearing on the natural law of supply and demand. Indianapolis News. The cellulose factories going up throughout the state have created a market for cornstalks at $60 a ton. Fifteen tons of cornstalks will make one ton of cellulose, valued at $160. Fitzsimmor.s ami Fame seem to have grasoed hands outside the fistic arena. The late champion posed for the figure of the blacksmith in the "Peace" group of the Dewey arch. The Laporte Herald of Saturday announced the end ot the war in the Philippines, stating that the insurgents had surrendered. This is another instance of telegraph news that travels by freight. Doubtless the Valparaiso papers will extend condolences. If the New York reporters have told the truth, Dewey will not run for president on any ticket. He considers himself wholly unfitted for the place. There are not many men who are willing to admit that they are unfitted to hold an office anywhere from constable to president. Mr. John R. McLean has received a telegram from Col. W.J. Bryan, stating that he would spend three days in Ohio during the campaign. The dates suggested are October 19, 20 and 21, immediately following his tour of Kentucky. A special train will probably be provided to carry Colonel Hryan over the state. The president of the Terre Haute police boatd ha; served notice on the managers of the street fair and carnival, to be held in that city week after next, that hooche-coochee exhibitions and g.imbling will not be permitted under any circumstances. Something must have happened in Terre Haute, since she can't stand a little innocent game of hoochecoochee. While statistics showing the extent of education among convicted criminals prove that the great majority of our evil doers are either totally ignorant Gr imperfectly educated, they also disclose the fact that those who commit forgery, embezzlement and similar offenses are almost always well educated and of polished manners. Men who shock communities by flagrant breaches of trust and confidence are generally persons of more or less culture and refinement, whose desire "to get rich quick'' has led them into lawless courses. "Vanderbilfs income" the Logansport Pharo says, "was $16.50 per minute on the day his death, and it had averaged minnte for several years. It is . v discovered that all he got out of his income was some food, wearing apparel, and a good bed. He perhaps enjoyed less happiness than the man who by his daily toil earned two dollars for ten hours' work, possessed a good suit of Sunday clothes, slept in a clean bed prepared by a dutiful helpmate, and spent his leisure hours at home surrounded by happy, prattling children. Aguinaldo may be an adventurer. He may not be a wise leader. lie may not be the man to play father to this country. But Dewey says the Filipinos generally are intelligent and capable of self-government, and in any event they are de-

serving of humane treatment. If ir be treason to say this, then treason has taken on a new significance ami there's a big crop of it this year in the United States. Toledo Hee

The day of newspaper mud slinging and abuse is fast disappearing and that of reasonable argument is being ushered in. The live newspaper man no longer makes glaring misrepresentations about a policy or a political foe. Each topic must be discussed on its merits in order to accomplish any good result. The time was when anything that was particularly harsh to the opposition was agreeable to the readers of party organs. A lot of dirty abuse tilled the bill with a certain class of readers and others tolerated it. Hut today if an editor of a newspaper has not sufficient knowledge to discuss an economic question or issue he would be more in place as a conductor of a garbage cart. Any sensible man has learned that others have honest, conscientious opinions that may conflict with his opinions. In political matters there are no traitors to their country in the United States. Of course there are bad and dishonest men; but they exist in all parties. While the parties differ widely on certain policies of government no party desires to destroy the government and to claim such a thing is to betray a dense ignorance and to falsify the truth. There is no use in attempting to convince a man or a party of its error, if either is in error, by a tirade of abuse. The only proper way is to state facts and state them in a way that will appeal to reason. Sensational political newspaper abuse must pass away, as the people who like to read such rot are disappearing from the face of the earth. Wabash Times. i:i:asons fok oitosim; wak. The Springfield Republican puts the matter this way: Those who say that no one who urges that this wicked war be stopped can love his country or be anything but a despicable traitor, who for some mysterious reason prefers a horde of brown men on the other side to his own kinsmen and countrymen, ought to bt ready to show wherein stopping the war would in jure our country. Putting aside all questions of right and wrong, contemptuously ignoring, like good old Anglo-Saxons, the rights of an inferior race, consider only the inter ests of the United States; 1. The Philippines forcibly an nenexed will cost more than they are worth. 2. They will increase our future liability to war. 3. They will weaken the strong military position of the United States. 4. They will make a vast per manent increase in the army and navy necessary 5. They will burden the United States with taxes incurred for the benefit of capitalists. Leave out of account the threat ened injury to republican instituns, as "mere sentiment," and these five substantial common sense rea sons ought to make every patriotic American vote against forcible annexation, even if the moral code to which President McKinley referred when he spoke of criminal aggres sion, did not exist. K. OF I. (iKAM OFFICKKS. Th Klretlon TIil Week K iectel to l? a Spirited Contest. It is laid that the meeting of the Grand Lodge Knights of I'ythias which ie being held in Indianapolis this week, is the largest (irind Lodge meeting ever held in this state. About 1.001 representatives are expected to be present. Some of the Grand Lodge of ficers have already arrived. Among those who are there are John W. McCardie, grand chancellor; James E. Mc Donald, vice grand chancellor, and Daniel E. Storm?, grand prelate. Mr. McDonald, who resides at Ligonier, is a candidate for advancement to the posi tion of grand chancellor and Mr. Storms is a candidate for the vice chancellor ship. James G. Owens, of Evansvil'e, is after the same place, and another Kvansville man, ex-Judge A.C. Haw kins, is a candidate for supreme repre sentative. W.'L. Ileiskell, of Indianapolis, also desires to be supreme representative, it is said. It is claimed that C. A. Bookwalter is almost sure of being elected to the oflice of grand prelate. It is predicted that the sharp fight will be over the election of a grand keeper of records and seals, a position now held by F. Rowers. The place is worth about 83,000 a year. O. M. Shryer, of Rloomfield, II. I. Smith, of Ft. Wayne, and W. C. Peterson, of Darlington, are after th? ollice. Mr. flowers is also a candidate for re-election.

and Constitution for tin- New Diocese. A session of dignitaries of the Michigan City diocese of the Protestant epis copal church which began at South liend Monday afternoon came to an end late Wednesday afternoon. The object of the meeting was to dratt a constitution and canoLB for the recently formed diocese and the committee, consistiog of the Ht. Rev. John Hazen White, the Kev. A. W. Seabrese of Fort Wayne; the Kev. Francis M Hanril of South iiend, the Rev. Kdward W. Averill of Peru, and the Kev. W. W Raymond of Plymouth and Laymen Stuart MacKibbin of South Uend and Hon. dimes S. Dodge of Klkhar wen over the matter carefully, training the Constitution and drafting cancna on the general subject of the dioceee. They lncludfij canons on the subject o council cf legislation of the diocese time and place of meeting; canons on the general subject of procedure there in and the finances and revenues of the dioeeße. Aho the eleetion of otllcers o the diocese and prescribing their duties and to the subject, of the finances of the dioctse, canon on the subject of parishee, which includes subject of or ganization, elections, membership, otti cers, records and matteis pertaining to the election of rectors. Under this head the titles regarding the missionary system of the diocese were assigned to eub committies to draft and to report at the next metting of the committee. which will be held in about three weeks. The constitution as dratted covers the question of name, boundaries of di ocese, the declaration of allegiauce of the Protestant episcopal church in the United States and a declaration as to what is the law of the diocese. Arti cles prescribing what is the legislative power, anJ prescribii.g the qualilica tions ot ollicers are also included. The Hecion of the bishop and certain articles delegating certain powers to the council of the diocese and defining cer tain terms used in the constitution and canons and an article regarding an amendment to the constitution are thoroughly covered. The work already accomplished has been placed in the hands of a sub-committee for revision and it is expected that when the next meeting takes ph.ee the matter will be in compact form. If such is the case the constitution will be submitted to the council of the church which will meet in Michigan Citv some time dur ing November. The dioeeße was organized last April after the meeting of the general con vention of the church in Washington last October. It consists of sixteen parishes and eight missions and em braces all of Indian north of the south line of Benton, White, Carroll, Howard, Grant and Jay counties, more than onethird of the state. The diocese con trols real estate property in Indiadapolis valued at 80,000, which is its share from the old Indiana diocese. Over 20,000 of personal property also be longs to the diocese and as long as Michigan City remains as the city the church will have the use of the rectory school buildir.g and the church to be used as a cathedral. The diocese is in better shape than is usually the case when being organized. MI CH Tltl TII IN THIS. A Nej;ltet Line of Tent'lilng in Our School. Now that the schools are open it is time to call attention to one line of instruction in the public schools too much neglected. That is the training of children in general conduct. Too little attention is given in public schools generally to the training of children in those lines of condnct which have to do with their relations to the world. This is as truly a necessity as any ether line, for as much in these latter days depends upon the courtesy and politeness of an applicant for a place as upon the mental fitneee, and in the general struggle the young man or woman without habits of gentility is always behind in the race. Teachers should by precept and example instill in their pupi's the .observance of those elements of social refinement and courtesy that make the gentleman and Jady. Conduct on the street, in public anywhere, in reciprocal relations with each othtr, are all legitimate subjects of instruction at the hands of the public school teachers, and imparting it cannot begin too early. Careful observers are quick to note the results of attendance upon school and with different teachers, and the deterioration or improvement is marked as soon as classes pass from one school to another. The teachers should make the atmosphere of their schoolrooms a stimulus to refined manners and the observance of the common rules of social intercourse. This does not mean silly sentimental nonsense, but the observance of the courtesies that each has a right to demand of another. Elkhart Review. A CHANCi: TO INVF.ST. Kokomo Negotiating for I lie Water Work riant. G. E. HoiTmaster, representing the American Water Works company now operating at Kokomo, submitted to the city council a schedule of the company's property, with original cost of material and construction. This will form a basis upon which the city council will (ig. ure with a view of purchasing the plant. The committee is tinder agreement to not make publiclhe figures until the negotiations are further advanced, and not at all it it appears that a sale will not be consummated. It is probable that the city will in a short time employ an expert to make full investigation of the property. The plant will bave been in operation tif

FOK JOHNSON'S A KOOS. Friends of tl Itank Wik ki r Want to Sec-ure His Freedom. An effort will soon be made to tecure the pardon of John Johnson serving a 10-year sentence in the federal prison at Columbus, 0,lor wrecking the Logan? - port tate National bank, of which he wa president. There is a strong sentiment in favor of the imprisoned man, and weighty intluence will be trouM to bear, it is s;iid. Judge Haker sentenced Johnson and it is not known whit attitude he and District Attorney Wishard will take. With all of Johnson's misdeeds, he re tained many friends, who believe he has been sufiiciently punished, and also contend that Johnson's action in faking his medicine without protest should be taken into favorable consideration. The opposition to the movement will come mainly from those- who lost heavily through Johnson's speculations. A number of people, who legarded the banker as their beet friend, wete among the victim?, and they are nut disposed to advocate leniency. There is a suggestion of a stroog pull in the McKinley quarter, but the identltv of those behind it has not been divulged. A Mined Opinion. In a lengthy opinion upon th" constitutionality of the superior i-.nirt act and the amendment0 therein authorizing the county couimissi.mers to pro vide suitable places for it to sit, Judge Wm. Johnson, ot Valparaiso, writes that the law is undoubtedly coustitu tional and cites decisions and statutes to verify his opinion and concludes with this strong language: That the legislature has the right to establish the superior court for Ham mond, the superior court has settled. It would be strange, therefoie, if the law would sanction the creating of a court to be held in Hammond, and vet would be powerless to provide a place to hold the court. If it is reasonable to have a court at Hammond, it is just as reasonable to have a plnce for its sitting. I am therefore of the opinion thtt it was within thd p wer ot t'legislature to command the hoard of county commissioners of Lake county to provide suitable quarters for this court. 6uch being the case, the board has the power to either rent a suitable place or purchase a site and build thereon. Supplying l ulli- eU. A century ago Adam Smith noted as a remarkable accomplishment the man utaet'ire of 4S.000 pins by ten men in a day. In these times it is considered an ordinary achievement for three men to make 7,500,000 pins in the same time. In like manner, wheu merchants began 50 years ago to advertise exten sively people considered that action a remarkable exhibition of enterprise ltut the scope and methods of newspaper advertising nave radically . a changed since then. The needs of man kind have increased and become more varied. It h absolulely necessary therefore for the tradesman to make con stant proclamation of the fact that he is in a position to supply at least some of those needs. He used a popular newspaper for that purpose, with profit able results. Nye U Dc-jt'I One, Anyway. There is cuiisiderabb' talk just now hat Mortimer Nye, of Laporte, will be a candidate for governor on the democratic ticket. A man who is intimately acquainted with Mr. Xje says the former lieutenant governor has a great de6ire to be governor of Indiana, but will not run on the Chicago platform and Hryanism. As long as free silver is an issue iu Indiana this friend of Mr. Nye, who speaks authoritatively, says that the Laporte man will keep out of poliic8. Indianapolis News. lloulcleri Near Plymouth. Peter Kruyer, custodian of the county infirmary, came in today and told us of a huge rock that was found on the in firmary farm. Dynamite was used to raise it aud in bo doing it was broken into many pieces. Five wagon-loads were gathered up and there are still nineteen pieces too large to be put up on a wagon besides many small pieces. The whole stone weighed probably between twenty and thirty tons.

On the .'id div of October in that year, from ! the Wabash river to Lake Michigan the j snow was three feet deep on a level all over this section of the country. Some J of it laid on ovtr a week and there was ! sleighing most of that time. It froze every night, thawing in the day time, and 1 rode in a sleigh quite comfortably six days alter the lull. Of course, it was a phenomenal meteorlogical occurrence. It completely buried many sheep and hogs Hogs ran wild here ht-ii in the woods ami fattened themKnives iii the fall on mast. 1 remember helping to shovel out some sheep and hogs and getting them to the barn and under shelter, with the snow up to my waist; lirst hunting them up j and then breakiug a way for them with horses hitched to a big, old fashioned sled with long runners. I can ee thhorses now as they looked plunging and suorting, and the eno.v piling up before and onto the sled. Hut a lew :imts back and forth made a passable road. The hogs and sheep followed it easily occasionally one plunging sidewit-e to bury itself in the snow, and husUiug back into the track. Fifty eight years ago, aud we are near the end of the nineteenth century! How very few of the people 1 knew then, who waked up to see that snow on the .'id ot Octooer, are left! I feel almost like one who is alone some times; still, the old forms and faces and surroundings live in the mem ry, and often come back to me. liilh r Mr. linker.
