Plmouth Ind., May 23, 1901. And now the leaders of heDemocratic party in Indiana give promise or joining the ranks of the oppressive plutocrats. Evey Boldier returning from the Philippines praises the islands as a region of greit undeveloped riches. On tt 5 aver

age about a fourth of a returning regi

ment remains behind to engage in busi

ness.

The Democratic party is just now busy

hunting a candidate for president in 1904, If the party had any gumption or even a shade of self-respect it would rather be hunting a few principles that are not "frazzled out" to run on.

Mark llanna continues to be the target for all the large and email-bore Democratic politicians in the country. Now they are working overtime to prove that he is striving for the presidential nomination in 1001. This amuses the boys and doesn't hurt Mark.

eays he has lots of friends to remember

and no enemies to punish. Certainly Quay is a political marvel. He has succeeded against the most determined opposition and is to be admired for his

grit and "agacity.

A majority of the members of the com

mittee on relations with the United

States favor a report to the Cuban con

stitutional convention urgiDg the ac

ceptance or the Piatt amendment. The majority seem to be content with the

explanations made by Secretary Root,

and voted that in view of those explanations "we advise the constitutional con

vention to accept the Piatt amendment as a basis for future treaties with the

United States."

Republican prosperity has taken J. S.

Coxey' Populist, Christian Theosophist, and Commonwealer, out of politics. In

March, 1S91, in the second year of Cleve

land's administration, Mr. Coxey went

into politics in a reraarkaply epectacular

way for a populist. Bradstreet's at that time reported 801.000 workingmen out of employment in the 100 larger cities of the United States. Factories were closed and buisness was hrostrated as a re

sult of Democratic policy, and the fami lies of idle men were starving.

The appointment of a new member of

the board of civil-eervice examiners for the Bubtreasury in Xaw York has developed the interastirg fact that of the

other two members of the board one is Ulysses S. Grant, Republican, and Edgar F, Lee, Democrat, Mr. Grant is a nephew of the great general, in whose honor he was named, and Mr. Lee bears a similar relation to the late leader of the 'Most cause," Gen, Robert E. Lee. It was General Grant who said '-Let us have peace."

The supreme court, or Ohio, has again sustained the validity or the law assessing damages against a county in which a lynching occurs. Four years ago a nrsro was lynched at Urbana, under circumstances of peculiar atrocity. His administrator brought suit against the county for $5,000. The court awarded &irnage9 and now, on appeal, the supreme court has affirmed the judgment. Justice has been slow, but the law is new and in its first operation encountered so much opposition that lapse of time was inevitable. If it may be considered as sure, the effect of the slowness can be discounted.

A tael in Chinese money is equal in American money to about 70 cents. China offers to pay 15.000,000 taela annually to the foreign powers for thirty years. It is not as much as the foreign powers want, but it is a good round sum, and most people will think it is enough to pay all damages.

A Petrified ,pple. Dr. L. W. Newman has a curiosity in the shape or a petrified apple. He picked it up In the roadway the other day while driving into Chesterton. Banker Jeffrey, or Chesterton, offered him 815 for his prize, which he refused. Valparaso Messenger, After Kobins Again, The Knox Democrat says that another disbarment case against Attorney Henry R. Tlobins, of that place, will be filed in the Starke county circuit court in a few Oays. Henry C. Rogers will be plaintiff, and the complaint will contain four or five rew charges.

At the beginning or May, on a basis of 77,53G,000 inhabitants in the United States, the per capita circulation wn 23.31. This, of course, is a far higher figure than has ever been reached in the past. There has been a pretty constant increase in the proportionate circulation for several years. It is nsarly 33 per cent greater now than it was wheu Mr Bryan war starting his reign of terror in the canvass or 189G, and it is undoubtedly twice as great a9 it would be if Bryan bad been elected injthat year or in 1900. The gold element of the circulation is the largest ingredient, and that would practically all have disappeared a few months after the inauguration if he had been elected. Still, there is a possibility that Mr. Bryan may be a candidate in 1904. He has many warm friends yet, and they are not discouraged at the defeats of 189G and 1900. The fight for 6upremacy in his party between Bryan and his enemies is still to come off,

The quarrel between Queen Wilhelmina of Holland and her young husband was again forced upon the attention of the public last week when the holders of Prince Henry's notes -threw them into the open market in Amsterdam. The cotes which represent Prince Henry's debts are held by usurers of several continental capitals. They have given up all expectation of inducing the young queen to pay her consort's indebtedness are now trying to force h8r to settle by hawking his notes about the open market. It is reported from The Hague that the dowager queen of Holland has taken Prince Henry's ideof the quarrel, and that the last scene between the young queen and her husband was bo violent that the queen-mother was compelled to take to her bed from illness over tha stubbornness aud'reibntlessness of her daughter.

Northern Pacific has participated in a prominent way in several razzlerdazzles on Wall street. That in which Jay Cooke was wrecked in 1873 wus the first and the one in which Henry Villard was, over thrown in 1833-84 was the second. The affair of last week was only a zephyr compared with the cyclones in the other iostances. One of the reasons, of course, why the disturbance this time has ended quickly was that the business conditions throughout the country at present are far better than they were on the other occasions.

Obituary.

To say that municipal ownership of public utilities cannot succeed in American cities is too sweeping a statment. Detroit's electric light plant paid for itself some time ago, and now the city enjoys a handsome profit from it. Chicago ha3 been running such a plant for thirteen years more is expected to pay for the entire plant. The city electrician states in a recent report that during the year 1900 the city saved 8192,931 on its lights over the best it coula have done under a private contract. Such cases show that the question of municipal ownership of public utilities is at least worth careful 6tudy.

Eastern shipping men do not take much stock in the Chicago experiment of direct shipments to Europe. They claim that vessels built for ocean traffic cannot be operated at a profit on the lakes, and vice versa; furthermore, it is pointed out that even should sufficient cargo be secured on the outward voyage there will probably be more or less difficulty in getting return cargo. The amount of cargo the vessels can carry from lake ports to tidewater is governed by the depth of water in the Canadian cicals, and the . boats cannot load to their maximum capacitv until they reach Montreal, The higher marine insurance rates and the rehandling of cargoes are important items which men or experience in transatlantic shipping believe will be serious drawbacks to the success of the new enterprise. However, nothing succeeds like success, and the issue of the experiment may dispose of these predictions.

Emery Gurthet. Emery, the seventeen year old eon of George and Lizzie Gurthet, afier long suffering died at his home Monday morning or lung rever. He leaves a father, mother, two brothers and two sisters to mourn his death, Emery was always a faithful eon and loving brother. A short time before he passed away he told his father and mother the way seemed bright and bade them all goodby asking them to meet him in heaven. Emery dear is sweetly resting, In the arms of Jesus now, Resting from earth's care and trouble, With no shadow on his brow. He is resting in that mansion, Which his Savior built on high. In that home where God our Father, Wipes all teard from every eye, Long he lingered here in aDguish, What he suffered none can teli, Till one day his Savior whispered, Tis enough, come home to dwell, Theu his spirit soared with Jesus, To the realms of endless days. Leaving to us not this dear one, But this earthly house of clay . 'Neath the cheerless earth we laid him, While the sun 6hone bright above, But thank God his soul is resting. In that home of peace and love. Now we know that he is resting. And his troubles are all o'er, He now lives with his Savior. On that bright and shining shore. Father, mother mourn not for me, As lying 'neath the sod, For I have joined the happy band, And gone above to God. Brothers and sisters meet me. In that happy home above, Not where all is sad and gloomy, But where all is peace and love. Farewell friends and schoolmates. For my lot on earth is past. For my Father he has called me, To my heavenly home at rest. From Friends.

Something About Doctors. The state medical convention in session at South Bend, this week calls to mind an address of Hon. Will Cumback to the doctors at Marion several years ago. Among other things he said: The

(doctor comes a little nearer to us than

anybody else, for he is the first to greet us when we come into the world and the last to bid us good bye when we leave, II sometimes hastens our departure, but doubtless in many more instances he has helped us to remain. 'He is our life-long friend. He comes to us to us in our earliest infancy, and with his parogoric, soothing syrup and squills he removes the pains that beset our tender bodies. At all times of trials and tribulations the dootor comes with his powders and pills, his lotions and cathartics, and better than all, hi3 kind encouragement, "The doctor exists be.iauee of our ignorance, the lawyer because of our meanness, and the 'minister because of our wickedness. He is the only person who comes in cloie contact with evary class of people and knows their ills and torrowe, their joys and pleasure, their little secrets, with which only the good kind doctor could be trusted. We not only ought to love him, but we should occasionally do more than to merely promise to pay him,

The Great Scourge of modern times is consumption. Many cures and discoveries from time to time are published but Foley's Honey and Ter does truthfully claim to cure all cases in the early 9tages and always affords comfort and relief in the very worst cases. Take no substitutes. E. A. Fink,

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you' have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness, caused by catarrh, that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. F.
