T ;i . - ' . 1.1 yaiu one year in auvance, Ji.oo.Plmouth Ind., June 13, 1901. xne census contains many surprises. T-1 - one f which i9 that Maine rnd Ver mont, regarded as finished States, ehow a greater increase in population than Kansas and Nebraska. "Jim" Robinson, up in the Tenth dis trict ia conceded to be a mighty smart Democrat when it comes to politics, and as he wants to retain his seat in Congress the Democrats who would like to down him" realize that they have a big contract on band. 'The Chailecge" of Los Angeles, Cal ifornia, in its issue of May 8, published a large cartoon showing a presidential banner, for 1004, on which the most conepicous line is "Tom Tom." The ticket reads: "For President Tom Johnson, of Cleveland. For Vice-President Tom Taggart, of Indianapolis. Platform The Tom-Tom is mightier than the windmill." In the cartoon, a donkey labeled "Democracy" is beating a tomtom, while Bryan's face surmounts, a windmill. The report of the Bureau of Statistics shows relative great increase of export business at tha Southc-rn ports. New Orleans has overtaken Bost which had been the second exporticg city of the country. New York even shows a relative decrease in commerce. Thera seems to be natural reasons that this eaould be so. as the South is develcp?d t.nd becomes one industria.Jy with the North. A continent like thu in the course of tilings can cot always be sending the the great bulk of its exports to two ports, and they at the far north of its great eeabord. Governor McSweeny cf South Carolina displayed excellent judgement in declining to accept the resignation of the two United States senators from the etate, tendered by them as the reault of an acrimonious discussion, in which each "dared" the other to resign. - The senators expected the governor to provide for an election to the vacancies and each thus be given an opportunity for vindication by the people. The governor intimated however, that if the resignations were not withdrawn he would appoini two new men to fill the vacancies. The Porto Ricans are experiencing Amarican prosperity. Business of all sorts in the island is better now than it ba3 been in many years. Of course, it will be 6till better as eoon ae the islanders becotna thoroughly Americanized and adopt American methods. The advances, löö. which will come soon in the island's political status will help all sorts of trade among its people. A full territorial government for the Porto Ricans is sure to be granted within the next few years. Then state government will not be far in the distance. This is the kind of "imperialism" which is in store for the new Americans of the Gulf of Mexico. The total population of the United State aa shown by the census of 1900 was 76,303,337. Thia includes 91,219 persons in the military and naval service of the United States not credited to any state or territory. Also Alaska and Hawaii. In 1890 the total population of ths United States was 63.600,756 an increase of 12,C33.C311in ten years. Indiana shows a population last year, 2,536,462 as against 2,102,404, an increase of 424,058 in ten years. The state of New York counts 7,263,804, the largest of any state in the Union, an increase of 1,165,720 since 1800. Nevada bhowa only 42335 as against 47,355 in lSJO.a decrease of 5,020. This state has the smallest population of any state in the union and c;m it riaa iust the same number of United States eenatora that the great state of New York has. The Siberian railway, while furnishicg Russia the means of waging war in the far Ea3t, may also be the cause for preserving the peace of the world. Mr. Alexander Hume Ford, in the Enineering Magazine-, shows the splendid opportunities now Opening up in Russia for engineers, especially English and American, and expresses,; the opinion that a great awakening of Russia is at hand. There are 90,000,000 peasants in the land, which wonderful mass of material the czir wishea to employ in the material advancement of tne empire. Mr, Ford declares that Russia will make many sacrifices to avoid war, which would fatally interfere with her internal development. She prefers Anglo-Saxon gold to its cold lead. Her two (jreatest rivals are America and Eosland. Her t:tut3 diplomats, cays Mr. Fcrd, arj anxious that thesa two nations should become eo deeply interest ed in her financial welfare as to be corapslledo assist in her develops? ) :it, Rn3a, however, 7ill loz3 no opportunity to etren-thsn b?r hold In Eactsrn Ada, co Iodj as it

Canada's count of population will hardly reach 5,500,000 a disappointment of at least 500,000 to our neigh bors across the border. Business opportunities in the United States continue to attract a large Canadian immigration.

The English language is marching on. Australia is now the third largest English-speaking country in the world. By the receot censuses, English is spoken by 100.000.000 people in the United States and the British Empire. The University of Chicago is becomicg sort of an educational trust. After making comparatively district eqhools of nearly all the colleges in its vicinity in this country it has gone across the sea aop ii establishing branches in Paris and Berlin. Commercial relations between Spain aDd the United States have been fully restored, and the indications, it is 6aid, are that our exposts to. that country in the fiscal year 1001 will be greater, with pessibly a Eingle exception, than in any proceeding year Because gold is beiDg shipped out of the United States several exh-inges jump at the conclusion that the United States is not a3 much a creditor countrv as has been claimed. As the creditor country must ba a lender of cash, how can it lend it without transferring it those who bor row? Orlando Packard, vice president of the Capital National B?nk, Indianapolis, calls our attention to an error which we said all members of the United Staie-a Supreme court are Kepblicans except White and Peckham. Chief Justice Fuller is a Democrat and his name was included in the editorial when it was written, but was in some way emitted by the compositor and overlooked by the proof reader. FAß ansa AS A SCIENCJ. The government is doing much to aid the farmer in his work. There are in this country now 40 agricultural experiment stations in different different states where are employed men of superior talent and experience, chemists, botanists, entomologists, and scientists of other grades. They go into the depths of Eoil anal) zation, of seed raising of insect investigation and everything calculated to be of interest to the agriculturist. Their experiments and rerearches are of great value, as they are continually discovering new things of direct benefit to the farmer. They are learning what Eeeds are adapted to different kinds of soil, and how the same are to be planted and cultivated. They study weather conditions and ssason changes, notiug the effects on crops. Everything pertaining to the icsect pest world .a carefully looked up and the best means of arresting the progiess of these pests sought out, All this scientiSc research is done at the expense of the general fund cf the country and the farmer gets the, result free of coet Farming is fast being reduced to a sciencee and its mprovement is every year made manifest, It will yet lead all the professions in the matter of depth and breadth of knowledge as well as of profit- f ab:e investment. DEC LINE IN TUE PRICE OF MONEY. It is a curious fact thaf while the pur- j chasing power of money is greater than it was a dozen or fifteen years ago, its earning capacity has fallen off in a marked manner ic that period. In recent years, particularly since 1806, values on most property, real and personal, have advanced, but the earning power of money decreases with the passing years, Since the good times came rates of interest have fallen. Savings banks in the East and trust companies in Indiana and elsdwheie have reduced the rates of interest within two years. Tha much denounced money power, aa a thing of itself to earn money, has lost half its efficacy in fifteen years. Not long ago an Eastern man who had charge of a number of estates said that the decline in the rate of interest upon safe investments since 1SS0 had taken half the real value from the estates of people who were not in an active business. The resumption of specie payments Jan. 1,1870, was preceded by the refund ing of UnitedS:ates 6 per cent bonds in 4 per cents. Since that time all the bonds of railroads and like corporations bearing 7 per cent, interest have been refunded at less than 4 per cent. In respect to farm mortgages the decline has been more recent, but even greater. For time after 1880 farm mortgages in the newer states bore 10 per cent, interest, and in Indiana 8 per cent. The lender had eo much the advantage because of the scarcity of money that the borrower paid rather more than the rates above named, Now the lenders are. fortunate who can get 5 per cent on farm mort gages. A few years ago building and loan associations paid shareholders from 10 to 12 per cent. Today such associations are going out of business because they cannot pay even half these rates. The associations which receive deposits of a dollar and pay 3 or Z per cent in terest are getting the caving of the peo ple who do sot put them into life in-

Sketch of Father Moench. Very lie?. Louis A. Moench, rector of öt, Paul's church and dean of ' the Val paraiso theological district, is one of the best known and most highly respected members of the Roman Catholic clergy of the Fort Wayne diocese, As an able theologian, an earnest pastor and in ed ucational woik he ranks as a leader in the diocese. For this latter field he is exceptiona ly well qualified and whereever he has gone he has won an enviable reputition aa an educator of the highest type. Father Moench is a native of Germany, having been born in Freudeuburg, Bad en, on January 25, 1853, He attended the commoa schools of Germany until fourteen years old. In 13CG he camo to the United States, resiling in Noble county, this state, untiL ,1860 when he! entered St. Francis' Seminary in Mil waukee to complete his preparatory otU'Jies ror mo pnestnood. lie graduated in June, 1876, and after being ordained was appointed assistant pastor at A villa, Noble county, For a short time he act ed as assistant in the cathedral at Fort Wayne.

In 1883 he was 6ent to Ply mouth, his successful pastorate extend ing over a period of fifteen years. In 1808 he came to Valparaiso to succeed Father Bathe in the pastorate of St. Paul's- His work here speaks for itself in increased strength, both spiritual and emporal, of the church In the pulpit he is strong, logical and forceful and has many non-Catholic friends in hn large audiences HABEL BURT, KLEPT0HANIAC List of the Articles She Stole from iler College Companion.

But the next day the irl appeared before him a jrain, as strong in her 'determination as ever, and she said she would rather die than tell from whose hands she had received the counterfeit money. Judo Baker warned her thf.t he would send her to the reformatory to remain until she was 21 years old unless she told, but the threat did not move the ?irl. After the court had made the threat frood, the girl went to the institution with her secret carefully treasured. Judge Baker finally had her pardoned, and the girl, soon after she obtained her freedom, was married-to an Indianapolis man. She called on Judge Baker and thanked him for sending her to prison. She still refused, however, to tell who gave her the counterfeit money and the man has never been caught. Let a a RscarOfl"taIer. Columbus, O., June 11.
