If tha figures for April and May continue through next month the balance ct trade in favcr of the United States will be 8700,000,000 for the fiscal year, and the total foreign commerce for the year will reach 2,400,000,000, The queer little fellow stated in his funny little paper last night that he was an honest man. This is certainly the greatest joke of the season. We know ten prominent businees men in this city who will pay 810 in cash for each and every honest hair that can be found in the queer little man's head. Always happy in the anticipatory fctage. Democratic newspapers are now nominating a Republican presidential candidate for 1904 and predicting his defeat. It is suggested by an exchange hat they might add to the gayety of the business by writing the platform and letters of acceptance. The meeting of the National Conference of Charities and Corrections iu Philadeldhia seems to ha;e brought deserved distinction to Indiana. The selection of a president for the conference was practically left to Indiana, and Thomas E. Ellison, of Fort Wayne, and Timothy Nicholson, of Richmond, were both mentioned. The choice finally fell to Mr. Nicholson, who is admirably equipped by reason of experience and zeal for the position. That the charity work of Indiana is on such a high plane as to receive commendation from many in the convention is cause for congratulation. , la speaking of the late Wall street flurry Henry Clews says fortunately the shock has scarcely had a momentary ef ect upon industrial and commercial interests. The harvest prospects are encouraging and the south and west still maintain their extraordinary prosperity. Credit operations are in a sound and healthy condition. The money market, though subject to a healthy demand, is backed by unprecedented loanable resources. For the moment, gold is going to Europe, not however, from any advrree commercial movement, but rather on account of exchange operations tending to place American balances at the service of foreign markets. The April report shows a continued increase in the exports, and the total foreign trade öf the fiscal year 1900 Ol is expected to ehow an excess of exports over imports au-ounting to 700,000,000 the largest creditor balance in the history of our foreign commerce. THE SMALL KU CITIES. . Indiana has a number of cities with population raDging from 13,000 to 30,000 jrUcb are jar illustrations of the prosperous towns in which the inhabitants enjoy all the eesential advantages of a larger city, and some very desirable advantages which most large cities do not offer the mas9 of people. . One of these cities which was visited the past week by a cumber of people is Logacsport. It is an old and substantial place, the center of a productive agricultural region, and of a large and steady trade and the seat of manufactures of considerable importance. It is not growing rapidly, but all about the town are evidences of well-to-do permanence. It has an unusually large number of large and statuly residences and more less pretentious homes in ample gsounds, bearing evidence to the prosperous circumstances of the occupants. The town has people who BWd poor, but it is a stranger to that hopeless poverty which abounds in large cities. It has no starving popu'ace with the attendant repulsive squalor, Logansport is spoken of because it is cce of the several similarly comfortable cities in Indiana. And yet there are people in all these cities who are not satisfied with them, Going about, one may hear complaints that if certain men were more enterprising the :ity mig be the seat of larger industries and the j R hnmft of a crretter rjODUiaiion. j.nose making these complaints would have the stir and bustle of the larger city, and because they do not have it, they find fault with others. Yet there are things more important than six or seven figures in the tables of population in census reports, and observing people who are not seeking excitement will find them in the cities whose populations are below 100,000 They will find that a larger per-' centage of the inhabitants live in modert indfinendence and above biting want BIW - 3 au i I ti a rrtiinn ,n f nH iwruHr luidh. buu .

Kttflr than in the larger cities. and those jiraiemai " "'"""f and öenevoienx organizations which are so much esteemed are more effective. So, taken all in all. the inhabitants of the class of cities referred to have rczl causa to regard themwlves u beic- highly favored. They certainly are the last people in the T7orld who eiculd complain. Indbnapclb Jcurccl.

The Cubans appear to have changed their minds .again and now don't want the Piatt amendment as much as they thought they did.

The Cubans have looked around and practically decided that they can do worse than to accept a more or less silent partnership with his country, particularly as we 6tand ready to furnish a working capital. The Chinese petition that asks our troops to remain in Pekin for the protection of the people is a high tribute to the honorable manner in which our expedition has been conducted. If China had her way the Russian troops would be the first to leave the country, with the Germans a close second. Senator Beveridge sailed Tuesday for Russia where he will btudy the economic conditions of that nation, paying particular attention to its commercial future. Indiana's junior senator is one of the few men in public life who does something else than draw his salary and speclate in Wall street. He is a student who obtains his information first hand and not from the encyclopaedia. Decoration Day In Plymouth, Decoration day services will be observed by Miles II.

The reading of this paper brought to the minds of the people, the commencement exercises of 1S31 at the same place, also the fact that North townehip has the honor of holding the first common school graduating exercises in the county and state.
