C W. 1TETSKER, Pub. and Prop. PLYMOUTH, - - INDIANA, TOPICS OF THE WEEK I TT T T TTT TTTT TT-TTT T TTTTTTT TTTT T TTTTTW YEARLY RETORTS COMING. Tho national commissioner of inVernal revenue is preparing estimates of the receipts of his bureau for the next fiscal year. The custom experts of tho treasury department are doing the same thing in that branch of the service. These estimates when competed will be submitted to the secretary of the treasury for his information and guidance in making up his report and h3 estimates. He need not he governed by the figures thus submitted kut they usually have weight in shaping the secretary's conclusions. Still, ha can do as he pleases with them, and miny a time the head of the department turns them down and gets up Ktatiitics of his own differing radically from these of his chiefs and trained rpecialists. Internal receipts during the first three and two-thirds months f the current fiscal year have been Tanning at the rate of $323,000,000 and ustoms receipts at the rate of ?200,W, 00 a year. WAR IS NOT POPULAR. The amendment of Mr. Stanhope, liberal, disapproving the conduct of the megmiations with the Transvaal while supporting the present position of the government, was rejected by the house f commons. The vote was 3G1 to 135 a yote which clearly indicates considerable dissatisfaction. The minority included John Morley, Sir "William flnrcourt, James Ilryco (the author of the best extant work on South Africa, in which reform by physical force is condemned as illegal and inexpedient), Leonard Ccutney and other distinguished men. IJannerman. the liberal leader, and Asquith. ex-minister in the Iioebery cabinet, abstained from voting, while a number of prominent liberal, followed the government supjrters. THi: TRUST DECISION. The unanimous decision of the 111 Iois Supremo court in the glucose "trtxit" case is of the highest significance. It answers, s-o far as the state is concerned, a question of the greatest moment and practical importance. It paIä wich the latest, newest form oi ombination a form which many have rap post" d to be beyond danger of successful attack. The kind of combination which the Supremo court of Illitvoi adw pronounces as unlawful and injtri.,:s to the public welfare as were thi tL.ds previously attempted was heJd legitimate and proper in a New Jersey decision rendered a few months ago. It is safe to say, however, that the tribunals of other states will follow tho law of Illinois as now laid down and interpreted rather than the law f New Jersey. YALE'S DEMOCRATIC HEAD. If President Iladley lives up to his iaaugural speech, and succeeds in making his charge live up to it, even in small degree, Yale university may congratulate itself on having acquirel at once a great president and the possibility of a great future. President Hadley's address upheld the ideal of the d?moeratic university, tho only ideal of a university that should have any p'.ace in this country. There are people who believe, whether they put the belief into words or not, that a university is an institution tc mpply a fortune-favored few with poiisjhed manners, book-lore, and a certain culture that will set them above and apart from their fellow-men. GERMANY IS FRIENDLY. It i pleasing to observe that th Comans are beginning to show a friendly feeling toward the United States. Apropos of this matter dispatches from IJremen say: "The Weser Zeitung of Bremen shows much friendliness toward the United States in the warmth with which it welcomes the news of the action of the Philadelphia international export congress relative to the constitution of a German-American joint ommi9sion to study difficulties in the way of trade between the two countries and to make recommendations for thoir removal." COMPULSORY ARBITRATION. Not & little has been wriUcn in tho United States and EnglanIJ ncernin:; the beneficial Tesults of the compulsory arbitration law of New Zealand. A leading London paper referred to it as "a beacon to the world," but it appear from an able article in the National Review, contributed by a New Zealander, that if a beacon, the law is a warning of the proximity of danger. Ita operation should teach the world to avoid the principle of compulsion in t settlement of labor disputes, not tc follow the example of New Zealand. A FLOATING HOTEL. Soldiers, officers, nurses and crew to th number of 2,000 have Just sailed for Che Philippines In the transport Thomaa. This vessel has an icemakin; plant, a fresh water condensing apparatus, bakery, laundry and coldstorage plant, smoking and reading rooms, and all the comforts of a firstIass hotel. If the voyage to the new Pacific possessions is to bo mado so agreeable emigration may soon turi in that direction and the eastern probier receive a new solution. ILLINOIS ANTI-FREAK LAW. The Chicago po'ice, uarter authority of the act passed by the last legislature, have drawn the line at "a young lady" who is half monkey or a young monkey who is half "lady," and given tho interesting hybrid the alternative or wiiodrawing from exhibition or going to Jail. A. department store for the City of llexico will soon be a reality, but the crying need for a great modern hotel Js still unanswered.

While in the heyday of his saecccss temptation came his way and he wa.-, lost. David Mc harry called upon him to make his will. I Vtitt having one been a lawyer, and ho then learned thai Mrs. Whitehead was a woman who would one day le v ry ru h. Almost immediately he s ms to have conceived an awful plaii for becomiiij; possessed of this wealth. Within a few weeks after making thi.s will, Petitt. although a married man, began clandestinely and s due tively to lay sb-t to the heart of the widow. Only too well he succeeded, and finally wrung from her the promi.-e' that in case he should ever be free she would wed him. Three weeks later Mrs. Petitt was a corpse, snd the whole countryside was gossiping.

Mrs. Whitehead returned to her father's homo after tho Petitt trial, and during the remaining days of the sadly-broken old man. she was his devoted attendant. They traveled rauch, and she, although a physical wreck, was untiring in her attendance. When he died, several years ago. she took up her home in tho old Meharry place, and lived there euiet!y the rest eif her days. She was a saddened woman, and gave up her hours of respite from physical suffering to good works. She had the sympathy of .ho whole community, as she was regarded as a woman who had erred because she was unable to resist the will of a powerful and designing man.
