Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor

and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of ord-.r or diseased.

A movement to organize the daily papers of the state with an association is being agitated and a meeting will be called at Indianapolis soon. It is pretty likely that Senator Inman will be selected by the minority in the senate for its leader. Mr. Inman i a strong man, having had legislative experience in the hoie about twelve years ago. Those South American chaps are not so far behind the times as we sometimes think. Recently the authorities of Argentina had reason to suspect that a great ileal of smuggling was going on through the mails. An X-ray apparatus was turned on the foreign mail, and in the firt day's work, no less than So watches, diamonds and pieces of jewelry were located in innocent looking bundles of mail. That was certainly up-to-date. Concerning the question of fortifying the propoed canal to connect the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, the Indianapolis Press remarks that whether we fortify it or not is a question that will keep, but we do not want to tie our hands so that we cannot fortify it, if it becomes necessary. If we build this canal with our own money, it must be on our terms and the first of these should be the right to control and defend our property. There is little doubt that the people of this country will heartily indorse this sentiment.

New York trade unions have

started a movement to establish cooperative bakeries and furnish bread

to the poor at cot price. The plan is the outgrowth of a war upon filthy cellar bakeries, which have multiplied in the slums of the

big city. Already 6,000 trades unionists have agreed to support the project, and 500 union bakers will own stock rin the co-operative concerns. If the plan works out, it

is intended to extend the co-opera

tive idea to many other lines and to

open retail stores in many parts of

the city. - - - . v ...

It is said that Gen. Benjamin

Harrison has just received his fee of 100,000 from the government of

Venezuela, in liquidation of his ser

vices rendered in the celebrated

boundary controversy. It's a big

fee, one of the largest on record, but Gen. Harrison is a high-priced lawyer. Something over a year ago he got a $10,000 fee for a half hour's speech before the supreme court. Way back in the sixties, Robert S. Walker, secretary of the treasury under Polk, got a half million dollar fee for winning in celebrated mining case in California. It

was ;i contingent fee, and the castwas a very complicated one. Win. M. Kvatts once upon a time received a $50,000 fee for writing the w ord "Ye? '' at the foot of an infiiiiy from n railroad company that wanted to do certain things involving important question of law. 11 i;kion on Kr.sioN. "What shall we do with our expresidents?" This much-mooted question received a practical answer from one of them last week. In a carefully prepared speech Benjamin Harrison utilized the dignified and inlluential position which he holds as an ex-president to reassert the fundamental principles of the government which he administered for four years, and to recall the nation to a sense of its obligations as a republic. The ex-president is an able constitutional lawver, who has the faculty of making his points so clearly that everybody can see them, mid his argument that the constitution as a whole everywhere, not such portions as a president or congress may choose to apply in one or another section, appeals irresistibly to the mind of the candid layman. It is hardly too much to say that

this is an epoch-making speech. Everything conspires to give the utterance dignity and weight. It comes from an ex-president, who is reserved by nature and who has spoken on public questions but seldom since his rerirement from oihee. It is a solemn, earnest and indignant protest against the policy of a re

publican administration from a man who is by instinct a strong partisan

and who has always been loath to

condemn the political organization

with which he has acted ever since

its origin. This ringing cry for the maintenance of the republic's principles is forced from Benjamin Harrison because he is a patriot, the dtscendent of a man who fought to establish the constitution, himself a soldier in a later war to maintain

that constitution, and as much a believer in the principles of that in

strument as his ancestor was in the

last century or he himself a generation ago, Mr. Harrison's deliverance is oy far the most effective gun that has been fired in the campaign against

imperialism since the development of McKinley's policy began to

arouse apprehension among thoughtful men. It assures a more vigorous prosecution of the warfare against that policy than was possible while a presidential election was pending. No question is ever settled until it is settled right. The great question before this nation will never be settled until it is settled on the lines which ex President Harrison laid down at Ann Arbor last week. It is only a question of time when it will be so settled New York Post.

THE DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVES AND SANATORS CONFER TOGETHER.

The minority roe rubers 01 the je&emblv and senate met at the (Irand hotel, Indianapolis, Saturday last, aot acquainted and discussed various matters ttia' are likely to be presented at the coming seemion. Apparently t tie democrats are divided on the primary t lection law proposition, possibly more being opposed than are favorable. If the law is po drawn as to affect only tbe larpe cities, tbe ininrrity might unite on such a proposition, but the representatives of the agricultural counties as a rule think there is no crying necessity for such a law iu their particular localities. They prefer to leave the matter discretionary with the various county committees. Kditor Mores, (Ireen Smith and others are anxious for a primary election law. Frank Burke is just as emphatically opposed to it. A few of the members favor voting machines, but the majority seemed to be opposed to the machines because of

the great expense. Some fear that machinery is not sutliciently reliable -there being constant danger of getting out of repair. The minority is likely to oppose the proposition to take the election of county superintendents out of the hands of the trusters. It will also in eist upon a rigid and an exacting investigation of our state institutions. It is hinted that some sensational facts will be exposed during the coming session relative to a couple of the state institutions. Regarding the selection of the minority leader in the house, nothing definite is known at this time. The choice will

be made on the evening 0! January 9, at the Grand hotel. Representative Davis, of (ireen county, is a possibility. He is well known in Southern Indiana

as a silver-toneued orator. He has silver hair that he refers to occasionally

with a sort of "Abe Lincoln" jocosity.

This in his first term in the assembly

and some of the old members don't like the idea of a new man being selected as a leader, though they admit that his political prominence perhaps eclipses

that of any member of the assembly.

He was at one time nominated for con

gress, but before the vote could be an

nounced the political machinery got in its work and one couuty changed its

vote. Davis was side-tracked, but later was tendered the nomination without

opposition. He did not accept it for fearot defeat. This was in 18. He

estimated wrongly, as the district went democratic that year by 2,500 majority.

Representative Cravius, of IWoomington is also a possibility. While not as old a man as Mr. Davis and not as prominent in Indiana politics, be has

this advantage of having been a mem

ber of the last legislature. The old members will probably insist upon him

or some other member that has served at a prior session. Mr. Cravens is a

newspaper mao, being the publisher and owner of a paper at Rloomington. Representative Cotner, of Logansport, would accept the leadership but he

says that he is not a candidate except

in a receptive 6ense.

Home for Ilie Holiday.

Culver military academy closed for tbe holidays at noon, Dec. ID. All cadets were granted leave of absence until Jan. 1. At lunch formation tbe battalion was brought to parade rest and the national colors, which are dis

played only while the academy is in

session, were lowered. The band,

meanwhile, played "The Star-Spangled

Banner." The battalion then marched

to mess to the strains of "Home, Sweet

Home." When the corps broke ranks after lunch the cadets left for the depot in high spirits, with much cheering, and giving their school and company

yells. In chapel Thursday morning the superintendent spoke to the cadets of a possible trip to Washington on the occasion of the inauguration; saying that a position of prominence in the parade had ueen offered the corps by the committee on arrangements. In the event of the trip being made these days would be spent in sightseeing, the whole period of absence from the academy covering one week. This trip would be offered in lieu of the regular spring holiday, the time away from the academy and expense incurred by most of the cadets being ab)ut the same in either case. The cadets cheered the proposition vociferously. The academy has enrolled 235 cadets, about twenty more than at this time last year. Indiana Population. The detailed, census of Indiana just made public shows that of the live cities of oyer 25,000 population, Evansville, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, South tfend and Terre Haute, South Rend made the greatest percentage of gain from 1800 to im, it being f5.0.
