The Republican. ffM.O. HENDRICKS, tdHor mm Proprietor. OFFICE in Bissell Block, Comer Center nj Laporte Street. Entered at the Plymouth, Indiana, Post Office as Second-Class Matter. SUBSCRIPTION: One Year in Advance $1.50; Six Months -5 cents; Three Months 40 cents, delivered t any postoffice. Plymouth Ind., September 5, 1901. Which shall be the recognized official organ of the Marshall county democracy, the Democrat or the Independent? The tight is now on in earnest, big guns have been fired on both sides and more will follow, and the faithful will be in turn appealed to, cajoled and threatened by both contestants. If the Democrat has so comported itself as to merit the esteem and confidence of the party it has so long represented, the wabbling, mis named and unreliable sheet that is snapping at its heels will make little headway. Öne who has followed the editorial course of the Independent through its lightning changes of the past few years will be at a loss to know just where to place it now or where to expect it at any future time, but all who have held or aspired to public office in the county during its brief career agree that it has been stearlily consistent in one thing, and that is attempted blackmail.
POLITICAL PARTISANSHIP. Edar L. Maines, in the Lebanon Pioneer, writes ably and lucidly on the subject of political partisans. He says: I admire an honest political partisan. I admire the man who understands and believes in the principles which underlie the political party to which he belongs. I admire the man who loves the history and traditions of his political party. I admire the man who has unshaken confidence in the mission of his political party. I admire the man who seeks, if his party departs from its basic principles,to reform it by remaining a member of the party, rather than to forsake and condemn it. I admire the man who is a political partisan because of his honest belief in the wisdom of certain political principles, but I despise the man who is a political partisan for the sake of political preferment or because of a blind and stubborn prejudice born of ignorance! There are three classes of political partisans. To the first class belongs the honest partisan the man who dares to tell the truth, the man who understands and believes in the principles of his party, and who is unwilling to sacrifice a single one of those principles upon the altar of policy This sort of partisanship is ideal. . To the second class belongs the ignorant partisan who knows nothing, and cares less, about party principles and political history. His actions ar: governed by inherited prejudice s ud campaign clamor. He is a creature of emotion and not of reason. In these days of free public schools, newspapers and libraries he deserves no pity far less respecf. To the third class belongs th politician who cares everything for political plunder and nothing for political principles. He is ffn unprincipled partisan. The end, with hlEQ, always justifies the means which he uses to attain it. He looks for his support to the iguorant partisan the man who depends upon someone else to do his thinking for him. The unprincipled partisan politican is deceitful, dishonest and untruthful. He would sell his soul for a mess of political pottage! He is a social vampire, a modera Annanias and a- cowardly assassin of reputation. NOT YET IN A RECEIVER'S HANDS. Inter Ocean. It is not likely, remarks the St. Louis Republic, that Mark Hanna is seriously disturbed by the general Western movement in favor of Thecp dore Roosevelt for president in 1904. "Hanna," asserts this democratic organ, 'is more potent than the people in his party; if he gives the signal, the machine will instantly proceed to crush Roosevelt." . Assume, for the sake of argument, : that Senator Ilanna possesses the pow er the Republic attributes to him. What, then, is the situation? . . Here is Theodore Roosevelt, admitted by this democratic newspaper to be "vastly stronger with the people than any candidate likely to be named by nanna. a teinpermental friend of the people," who "have confidence in his sound and honest Americanism." And here is Mark A. Hanna, credi ted with personal aspirations to the - Presidency, although it is absolutely certain that if nominated he could not get the vote of a single state In the Union except possibly Pennsylvania, and that only on condition of his making his peace with M. S. Quay. Yet republicans are asked to believe that when Hanna giv js the signal Roosevelt will be crushed. If this situation existed if these were the facts then the visible drift of public sentjEQent against the re publican party because of its supposed denomination by "commercial" prin ciples woulc I be thoroughly justified.
Then the republican party will indeed be destitute of statesmanship and bankrupt in morals. ThenMark Hanna, the embodiment of "commercial politics" in the eyes o! most Americans, would naturallv and rightlv have become the republican party's absolute master and the receiver named to wind up its affairs. The republican party, however, has not - gone into a receiver's hands. Neither Mark Hanna or any other of his tendencies can dictate its course or define its policy. Neither the Hanna machine nor any other machine can crush Roosevelt. Behind Theodore Roosevelt are the republican rank and file. Shift and dodge and intrigue as they may, the Hannas must ultimately yield to the people's will. The People Better Off. Although there is nothing new in the statement made by Carrol D. Wright, United States Commissioner of Labor, in the New York Journal that the rich are growing richer, many more people than formerly growing better off," yet it is well to have the truth proclaimed from such an authoritative source. Karl Marx some thirty years ago evolved what he considered an "incontrovertible axiom" from his inner consciousness that "the rich are growing richer and the poor poorer. " The phrase. was caught up as the statement of a demonstrated fact, and the world was warned that the ultimate result would be wage slaves on one hand and "great capitalist lords" on the other. It was a catchy phrase and rolled glibly off the tongue of the prophets of evil, who never paused to look about them to see the unanswerable signs of its refutation on every hand. Some eight years ago, howerer, W. II. Mallock, the author of "Labor and the Popular Wellf are," took up Karl Marx's "inconvertible axiom," and by official statistics of Great Britain proved that It had not a fact to support it. He showed that the majority of the community were not getting poorer; that moderate fortunes were not steadily disappearing, and that all wealth, beyond the bare means of living, was not steadily passIns: into fewer and fewer hands. Each one of these"nots" knocked a leg from under the axiom which Karl Marx had constructed on the three affirmative propositions which they demolish. Mr. Mallock showed that out of the total national income estimated in 1880 at 1,300,000,000 the millionaires only received 22,000,000, while tile income of the working classes amounted to 060,000,000. To this figure it had risen from 340,000,000 in 1850. The total ncome of those receiving less than 1,000 a year amounts to 94,0,000,000 a striking proof of how widely diffused is the wealth of the people. In 1850 those same middle classes and wage-workers in England received only 300,000,000 income per year. Precisely the same conditions prevail in the United States only here the incomes below $5,000 overtop those above in a far larger rate than in England, says the Reojxl-Herald, The
inCOnieofali the Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, etc., combined is as a drop in the bucket compared to that of the 25,000,000 persons engaged in gainful occupations in the United States. Buy Famous Hunting Marshes. Lewiston, 111., Aug, 31 W. C. Fitzhenry of this place has sold to a party of wealthy Indianapolis men Thompson's Lake, one of the finest natural bodies of water in this state, and far-famed as a hunting and fisbing resort. Among the purchasers are Major Hervey Bates, W. P. Ijams, the wellknown railroad magnate and Harry S. New, national republican committeeman from Indiana and editor of the Indianapolis Journal, and Dr. Thomas Hill of the same city. Dr. Hill used to accompany ex-President Harrison on his hunting trips to Thompson's Lake, which was the general's favorite hunting resort. General Harrison last visited this place in the -spring of 1900. The property acquired consists of Thompson's Lake and several thousand acres of marsh lands adjoining it. The consideration was in the neigh borhood of $30,000. These men have employed Lucien Gray, a local attorn ey, to draw up papers of incorporation and secure for them a charter under the laws of the State of Illinois. Bryan Is Satisfied Leavenworth, Kas., Aug. 31 Referring to a Virginia rumor as to bis future political inlen tions Wm. J. Bryan said: - "1111896 and 1900 the majority of the voters of this country said by their ballot that they did not want me as their ruler, and I think I would be imposing upon them by giving them an opportunity to vote against me again; Twice I was defeated, and while I do not say I was defeated hon orably I am satisfied, and I do not intend to try and force my self into the race again."

DEATH OF A HERO
General Ludlow Expires Suddenly From Goru ump-tion Had a Splendid Record tor Bravery Honcsru and Military Ability ir His Country's Service. MOKRISTOWN, N. J., AugL 31 General William Ludlow, U. S. A , a gallant soldier and veteran of two wars, lies dead at the home of his son-in-law, C. A. Griscomb, Jr., in , Mprristown. His death was sudden and unexpected. Since General Ludlow arrived here, five weeks ago, he had been steadily improving, and it was thought that he would be well in a short time. The cause of his death was tubercular consumption, which he contracted while military governor of Havana, Cuba. He came to Mr. Griscomb's home five weeks ago, having oeen invalid ed home from the Philippines. When he arrived he was very ill, but soon gained strength, and on pleasant days during the last two weeks had spent much time in the sunshine on the lawn and veranda. At 10 o'clock yester day morning he dressed and start ed down stairs, when he was at tacked with hemorrhage. At 1 1 o'clock he was dead. Mrs. Lud ow and Mrs. Gi iscomb were with him to the end. Secretary Root of the War Department was im mediately notified, and he sent the following message: 'Washington. D. C, Aug 3o -C. A. Griscomb, Jr., Morristown: I beg to express to Mrs. General Ludlow and her family my deepest sympathy and the sense of official loss and personal sorrow which I feel in the death of her noble and gallant husband. "Elihu RooT.Sec. of War " General Ludlow is survived by a widow, one daughter, Mrs. C. A. Griscomb, Jr., two brothers, Admiral Ludlow, U. S. N , retir ed, and Edward Ludlow, of Mexico, and one sister, Mrs. Robert Bond of the Indian territory. There will be a military funeral. The arrangements will be made in New York City. The general was born in New York in 1847, was a graduate of West Point in 18G4, served with high honors in the latter part ( f the civil war and rose rapidly by merit. His bravery at Allatoona pass and at Atlanta and his distinguished' ability as an engineer pfiicer while with Sherman on the march to the sea are well re membered. When the war with Spain was declared General Ludlow was on lighthouse duty in New York. He was made chief engineer of ficer of the United States forces at Tampa, with the rank of Brig adier General of volunteers, and later was placed in command of the First brigade, Second division of the-JFifth Army corps, ant' participated in the battles around Santiago. After the occupation of Havana, General Ludlow was made military governor of the city of Havana and commander of the department of Havana. The breaking up of an organized system of blackmail in Havana was entirely due to his "efforts. He inaugurated the first improv ed system of sanitation inHavana and was largely responsible for the improved sanitary condition of the city. After his return from Havana he was made president of the war college board at Wash inston, and last January was ordered to the Phillipines with other officers assigned to duty at Manila. While at Manila GenerJ al Ludlow's health broke down completely, and it was evident from an examination made by physicians there that he had con sumption. When his condition was reported to the War Depart ment, Secretary Root immediate ly issued'orders for his return to the United States on account of disability! He arrived at San Francisco on June 26, and was on waiting orders from that time. General Ludlow was a brother to Rear Admiral Nichol Ludlow, U. S.

A MISERABLE MAN. Two Years and Six Months Without Sleep. Sleep seems to be in many cases a natter of habit, just as eating and drinking are habits. The Arab whose desert life leads to abstemiousness, declines the offer of a draught of water. saying, wNo thank you, I drank yesterday." He drinks only when thirsty, and like his own camels, he can go long and far without water. It's much the same with sleep. When Gäbet and Hue, the French missionaries, were exploring Tartary they en gaged in the translation of the Scriptares, working without intermission day and night. When one felt the need of sleep he lay on a couch, holding in his hand a ball, beneath which, on the floor, was a brazen bowl. When his muscles relaxed sufficiently to release the ball, it fell into the bowl, and the noise wakened the sleeper who resumed his work. But it is one thing to give up sleep and another thing altogether to be unable to sleep. Those who suffer from asthma, bronchitis and other diseases of the organs of respiration are only too familiar with this enforced wakefulness, iney wouia give aimosi anything for a night's unbroken rest. THE SECRET OF SLEEP for them lies in the cure of the diseases which banish slumber. That this cure is possible is abundantly proven by those who have used Doctor Pierce's fVlflfn Medical Discoverv for the cure of bronchitis, obstinate and deep-seated . .... , . , coughs, lung "trouoie" ana otner diseases of the organs of respiration. mm W it.:. J T T4k.A "A can luis Kiixy zxzy iudi al , a icivt a Golden Medical Discovery is the best. and only remedy I have ever found for what the doctors call asthma," writes Mr. F. G. Rodetneyer, ot 45 ayaen Street, Fort Wayne, Ind. " I have suffered from hav- fever (and I eet the asthma with it), every year in August M . i r f and Septem Der xor me iasi nueen ye:ars, and could not sleep one night during that time, until this year, I have Hot ....

" The cures accomplished by the use of Golden Medical Discovery w are as numerous as they are wonderful. The great triumphs of this medicine have been won ia the cure of chronic diseases of many years standing. When every other medicine had failed to do more, than give tempory relief, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has made a perfect and permanent cure. 1

fees to a treat medical apeciallat when you Even when the disease was far advanced; when there were hemorrhages, nightsweats, emaciation and great weakness, "Golden Medical Discovery" has cured the disease and restored the strength. WHAT FEW MEN KNOW, is that catarrh in its commonest or simplest form is a menace not merely to health but to life. Catarrh of the lungs is but a step removed from consumption. Catarrhal affections should therefore never be neglected. They are as dangerous as they are offensive. "For twelve years I was a sufferer from catarrh and was treated by one of the best physicians in the State of North Carolina, who said the trouble had reached my lungs," writes Mr. J. M. Patton, of Clotho, Transylvania Co., N. C. "I grew worse every day until I tried Dr. Pierce's medicines. Will say, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical DLscovery with one bottle of Dr. Sage' Catarrh Remedy cured me, and to-day I am well and hearty, and I will say further that my former physician, Dr. W. M. Lyday, recommends Dr. Pierce's medicine to me and to others. I am sure your medicines will cure any case of catarrh that exists. I recommend them to all." By purifying the blood and increasing the activity of the blood-making glands "Golden Medical Discovery" strengthens every organ of the body. Accepting the fact that the blood is the life, it follows that the healthfulness of the physical life will depend upon the healthfulness of the blood, and that a deficient supply of blood must result in a deficiency of physical strength. "Golden Medical Discovery n gives health and strength by increasing the quantity and improving the equality of the blood. The evidence of this lies in the marked gain in weight experienced by those who have become emaciated by wasting disease, and who have beea cured by the use of "Golden Medical Discovery." It is not a gain of flabby fat, but a gain of sound flesh and firm muscle, and with this gain of flesh and muscle comes a gain of strength, which seeks a new out'.et for itself in active exercise. The frequent testimony, "It has made a new man of me," thoroughly expresses the real rejuvenation which conies to those cured by the use of "Golden Medical Discovery. n Accept no substitute for "Golden Medical Discovery." No so-called "just as good" medicine can compare with the "Discovery" when its record of cures is considered. 21 CENTS TO UNCLE SAM.
