As seven states hold elections this year seven Democratic platforms must be written, but nobody is anxious to tackle the job. "How are we to declare theDemocratic party's present condition," asks Mr. Altgeld, "when we do not know what that condition is?" It must be admitted that the question is a poser. Daring eleven months of the fisca year the income of the government has exceeded the expenditures by $58,588,695 The country is in good shape for the reduction of war taxes on July 1. After shaking hands with the numerous generals and dignitaries of the Ger man court, Queen Wilhelmma expressed great pleasure in meeting an agreeable and unimposing citizen like Senator Beveridge. The latest returns from ülurope appear to mean thatthere will be as great demand for American wheat abroad for the next twelve months, as there has been in recent years.' Ataerica'6 crop stands a chance to be above the average of the past five or six years, and a good market awaits all of it, We are hearing little or nothing of late regarding the charge made, more than a year ago, that the United States would meekly follow the policy in the Chinese affair which Great Britain dictated, because it is too well known that this government led in makiog the po'icie3 whieh have largely prevailed. Senator Chauncey M. Depew is the atest prominent politician to publicly advocate the election of President McKinley to a third term, but bis idea finds no response even amocg those who admire the president aod recognize in him OQ6 of th9 best presidents the United States ever had. ;The unwritten law that no president shall have more than two terms cannot be ruthlessly trampled upen or ignored. The country will be rejoiced to know that there 13 to be no extra session of Congress., Xhe only thing tfcat eeemed to make it necessary was the Phillippine situation. But is said that the President and his Cabinet have unanimously decided that they have ample power under the Spooner law' to administer affairs in the archipelago, acd this being the case there is no reason why Congress should assemble in advance of the regular Jate.Somebody having made the wild charge that President McKinley .is an an ultra protectionist the Boston Journal remarks: "To find ultra protectionism it is necessary to go away back to the days of Thomas Jeffersor, who wished that the Atlantic might be a lake of fiire to keep out foreign goods." The foreign trade of the United States j this vear will reach &2.2C;O.0C)O.000. a aufticient proof that the Dingley tariff is something quite different from a policy of isolation, President Taft of the Phillipine commission has cabled the war department that, in order to establish the schools in the Phillipines by fall, as recommended in his report, special facilities for transporting the 600 teachers required for this work will be necessary, and he has insisted that steps be taken to this end. Teachers all over the country have been taking the civil service examination to fit them for these places and the war department has authorized already, upon recommendation it the civil service commission, over 300 teachers to go to Manila upon army transports as rapidly as room can be provided for them. The arrival of these teachers in Manila will be the beginning of an intellectual and social revolution in the Philippines. The public schools will be patterned after those of the United States and will open to the natives a new life. TO PAY 1300.000 OF STATE DEBT. It has been found that it will be possible to pay $300,000 on the täte debt July 1. State Auditor Hart authorized this statement Wednesday. The heavy raiments into the state treasury by t-w tmapurera now making settle ment permit a payment this large. Con tributins receipts are from fees and taxes in the insurance department for the first six months of the present year aggregating $140,000 all of which . goes into the general fund. The receipts from this department alone, the auditor eays, are euGcient to pay the salaries and oSca expenses of eyery state oEicer tad every man employed at the capitol, including the caiaries and oflce expenses of the judges of both the supreme and Bppellate benches. Of the $140,000 the profit to the etate is $135,000 the other 5,000 goinj to pay for printing and

clerk hire.

It is comforting to know that in spite of the fact that' the "death knell of the Republic," has been sounded ever so af ten during the past 50 years, the temple of liberty etill stands in all its grandeur and is linaly to stand long after the whole raft of false prophets and hysterical croakers shall have been gathered to their fathers.

AN IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT, The declaration of war launched at Congressman Babcock by the Protective Tariff league presents an issue with which the Republican party must begin at once to reckon. Successive consolidations of great industries already had stirred the public mind to new though. .Then the formation of the United States Steel corporation, the hugest of these combinations, came to give tendency to that thought. It made on the average man the impression that such corporations were too big that they centered in a few hands powers too great for the safety of the republic. That most products of euch combinations are protected by the tariff is well known. Removal or decrease of the tariff to check their powers had long been advocated by extremists. The formation of the steel trust led tens of thousands to turn to that proposal as a remedy for the real or supposed eyils. Congressman Babcock's bill was the concrete expression of the impulse of the moment. The conviction that public welfare demands curtailment of trust powers may be wholly erroneous. The belief that tariff reduction would have the desired effect may be wholly ucfounded. Nevertheless that conviction and that belief exist and are steadily gaining converts. They are sources which cannot be turned aside by personal attacks upon this man or that, and cannot be repressed by generalities about the benefits of protection. The situation is such that those who would maintain the tariff on trust-made goods are on the defensive. This situation cannot be altered by ignoring it. The conflict between those who would keep protection at any cost and those who would sacrifice protection in the hope of disciplining the trusts h irrepressible. The present drift of that conflict against the Republican party is evident. To overcome that drift the party must at once enter upon a campaign of education. Aöd unless the party does this the rising tide will sweep away not only protection, but also the other Republican policies with it. Inter Ocean. A NEEDED REFORM IN FINANCE . Haw many people are there in thi9 nation of s eventyrfiix millions who know what the subtreasury is? Bankers, financiers, even business men and most men in public life know what it is, but these are only a few thousand. The term designates a branch, or rather nice branches, of the United States treasury established for the safe keeping of publis moneys, with an assistant treasurer in charere of each one at New York. Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cio?nno: Hike ftf T.rm! Wrkrlpanfl. 1 and San Francisco. As a piece of official machinery there ia nothing else like it in the world, and certainly nothing else as liable to cause disturbance and mischief in the business world. Whatever the eubtreaeury system may be in theory, its effect is to tie up and keep out of circulation a large part of the mousy eupnly of the country, and to make it almost :aifaossible for either the banks cr the goverctasct to afford relief in times of stringency, According to the last treasury statement about 43 per cent of the general stock of money in the country was thus locked up in , the treasury and the subtreasuries. This is safekeeping the public funds with a vengeance. The system had its origin sixty years ago as a makeshift substitute for the old United States bank aod the "wild cat" banks under the 6tate laws that followed, both of which had proved to be unsafe depositories of public mon ey- It was an improvemement on those systems, but it has long since outlived its usefulness and become a clog and menace to the business of the country. Originally an outgrowth of political pas sion and financial interest it had ceased to be defensible on any of the grounds once cited in its favor, and should be abolished. The surplus funds of the government, amounting to nearly $300,000,000 instead of being withdrawn from circulation and locked up in subtreasuries. should be deposited in banks which do a commercial business, as is done in all other civilized countries and in this country those of the . national government. There is not a ünancier or bank in the United States who does not regard the present method of handling government funds as awkward, cumbersome, costly and vicious, acd intelligent foreigners are amazed that congress should have continued so long a system that makes the government a party to crippling the business of the country by tying up a large portion of what should be its active circulation. The next step in financial reform should be the abolition of the subtreasury. Elkhart Truth. Mr. James Brown of Putsmouth, Va. over 90 years of age suffered for years with a bad sore on his face.

TUE PAVING QUESTION.

North Michigan Street Will be Paved and the Bids Will be Opened July 1. A reporter for the Evening News interviewed the property owners on North Michigan street Friday in regard to paving. Almost everybody is in favor of paving, if the paving is made to extend north of Dr. G. R. Reynolds residence. Some are in favor of paving only thirty feet wide north of the business portion. H. Humrichouser, Amasa Johnson, Drs, Bower and Viets, Mrs. Confer, Mrs. A. D.Senour, W. W. and Fred Hill expresssd taeir opinion in favor of paving if it would extend from the city's limit on the north to the city limit on the south. George Neff, O. G. Soice, N, Stevens, Lora Caprcn and Dr. Borton are in favor of paving or anything ehe that will benefit the city. L, Tanner is ib favor of paving only thirty feet wide in the residence portion and Amasa Johnson stands with him. ' John Wolford and Chas. B. Tibbetts don't care much how they fix it. Major Kendall and one or two others could not be been. A majority of the real estate owners seem to be opposed to paving unless it is made to extend about to blocks further north, but it is not probable a majority will sign a remonstrance, consequently unless the council rescinds its action, sealed bids be opened July 1, and the contract let unless all bids are in excess of what the council considers just. As previously stated in the News the pavement will be GS feet wide on the business portion of the street and 40 feet wide in the residence portien and will extend from the Michigan street bridge north to Jackson street, otheiwise known as the Schultheis corner. The reports of different business men in regard to paving as given to the reporter of this paper Saturday are as follows: W. M. Kendall is in favor of paving if Michigan street is paved from the city limit on the north to the limit on the south and also Laporte 6treet, A. M. Reeves is in favor of paving the business portion of the city, that is from Yellow River bridge to Parker House corner and from Michigan street to the Pennsylvania depot. Samuel Gretzinger is in favor of paving the full length of Michigan street and Lup.nte street, but he is opposed to paving only a small patch on Michigan street. R. C. Kloepfer is in favor of paving when the city isflourishing.but at present the times are dull and he is in favor of postponing it for awhile. II. G, Thayer is non committal, Frank Jacox is in favor of paving if the city will pave the full length of Michigan street. Wm. Sears is in favor or paving and especially the business portion of city, J. C. Kuhn, Fred Shoemaker and J, A. Palmer are strong advocates for paving aud they say, ;4let the city pave as much as possible now and in the near future pave the rest." Blain and Cressner did not give an opinion, Dickinson is opposed to paving la F"-"! A surgical operation is not necessary to cure piles, DeVV.

"Probably the only girl butcher in the United States is Miss Pearl De Grace Stark, of Benton Harbor, who was grad uated from the Latin course of Benton Haroor Ify'gh sshool this week," says the St, Joseph Press. 'Her life is busy and interesting and is peculiarly a strange one. 'Miss Stark's father, Levi Stalk, conducts a meat market on Britain avenue, and his daughter is his only clerk. Pearl is a girl about 18 years old and is robust and strong. Morning, noon and night and Saturdays find Miss Stark be hind the counter waiting on customers, S!d wears a big white apron and cute, chops and saws meat with the alacrity of a skilled meat man, Pearl has con siderable muscle and there is no duty around the meat market that is too hard for her to perform. A noticeable fact is that the young lady can guess at the weight of a piece of meat as well as well as the eldest male butcher known. In waiting on a customer she slices off a piece of beet or mutton and places it on the scales with no concern at all and the cut of meat always weighs exactly as much as the patron asks for. "Miss Pearl is an energetic student and is a rather deep thinker. She of ten takes her r Virgil' to the market an4 during spare minutes industriously studies. Hov'i Tbl?

Sequel to a Scandal. The marriage of Professor Herron and Miss Rand appears to have been a common law affair with a good deal of socialistic moonshine on the side. No vows were taken and none were necessary, for the very good reason that the doctrine which the parties to the union are attempting to inculcate expressly repudiates all authority, responsibility and obligation. If the professor be not grievously misunderstood be is a god, and, of course, his new wife, under the forms of socialism, must be a godnese. The so-called marriage ceremony was a pitiful sequel to a scandal of outrageous proportions and it sought to put an end to the interest and even the curiosity with which the participants have been regarded. The assumption of such characters to lay down correct rules of life and of religion for the guidance of other people is one of the most astounding manifestations of an era of loose thought and loose action. Chicago Chronicle.

A Demand For Reciprocity. The address of President Theodore C. Search of the National Association of Manuf Bcturers at the opening of its convention in Detroit on Tuesday muat be deemed representative of the sentiments of the great business interests for which and to which he spoke. "There is," be said, "no more important work to which the National Association of Manufactures can apply its energy end influence than an effort to induce the Senate to give favorable consideration to treaties of commercial reciprocity." Then he went on to lament the Senate's failure to give heed to re peated popular indorsements of the prirciple of reciprocity and its neglect to second the efforts of the executive to respond to these demands. Nearly twenty years ago the Republican party declared protection and reciprocity to be complementary policies While the party failed to elect Mr. Blaine to the Presidency, the people indorsed the doctrine he had formulated. The Harrison administration put it into practical effect, with great and memorable advantage to American commerce. Especially was it of advantage to our trade with the Latin-American states, with which our political interests demand that our commercial relations be close. How the Cleveland administration sacrificed both reciprocity and protection to its frea-tradö theories is a familiar story. The Republican party was returned to power under pledges to both protection and reciprocity. Why. then, does the Senate refuse to consider reciprocity proposals? Apparently because local interests, in the minds of certain senators, outweigh the ganeral welfare, Concerted effort of those who have most directly to gain by reciprocity, and most directly to lose by its neglect, is necessary to convince these Senators of their error, The manufacturers should not adjourn their present convention without taking positive steps to array organized industry behind the demand for reciprocity. It is their great economic need as it is the American people's Inter Ocean. ,j ' Coined j at ünlon City. Union City. Ind., June 8.
