The secretary of agriculture thinks that within a few years Porto Rico could be made to produce half the cof fee used in the United States, which is a billion pounds a vear. valued at 70,000,000. And he believes the other half could be obtained in Hawaii and the Philippines. Our new pos sessions are a subject of great interest to the agricultural department. Carnegie lioraries are easy enough to get, thanks be to that gentleman's comprehensive and intelligent philan thropy. They are to be had for the asking. But a very wise condition goes with each gift, to the effect that any city accepting a library must bind itself to pay annually for maintenance and betterment one-tenth the amount of the donation. Plymouth can have a 820,000 library by guaranteeing $2,000 a year for its support. Jefferson paid France fifteen -million dollars for the Louisiana purchase and in addition there was paid in interest and claims twelve mlHion more; but it cost five hundred million dollars to establish constitutional government in the territory to get the "consent of the governed" to be governed according to the Jefferson plan. History applauds Jefferson's foresight inthis case and has no praise for his little American critics. There is a lesson in this for Bryan and the anti-Philippine demagogs. The Indianapolis Independent has read our occasional column of "Wronghurst Roasts" and thinks we are infringing on its burlesque "Suburban Correspondence." The idea is not new with us nor with Brother Hathaway, and if we occasionally, in gathering our material, cull an idea from his paper it is also true that we never copy or attempt to imitate any of the vulgaritv and even nastiness that CD m mars its frequently entertaining suburbanisms. Our esteemed friend mav m be assured that we peruse his paper regularly with much interest and whenever we reprint anything from it that is original proper credit will be given with the greatest of pleasure. The victory of the silverites in the contest for members of the Indiana democratic state committee is significant. It means that the Bryanites are a'powerful ingredient in the democracy of the western states' still. The goid men have regained control of the machinery of the democracy in most of the states of the Atlantic seaboard. They are in the ascendant in a few states of the south and in - one or two of the west. Probably they will win soma further conquests between this time and the meeting of the national conventions two and a third years hence. It is reasonably certain, however, that the silverites are very far from being either annihilated or discouraged. The demo crats can not unload what some or them call the "Bryan incubus" as easily as they desire. St. Louis GlobeDemocrat.

The Elkhart Review thus launches the candidacy of Walter Brown for the republican district chairmanship, carefully disguisinp whatever enthusiasm it may feel for the gentleman's aspirations: It seems that Elkhart county is to have a candidate for the membership of the republican state central committee. Elmer Crockett, of South Bend, announces his desire to retire, and in connection thus speaks of Mr. Walter Brown, of this city, who is an aspirant: "Walter Brown, of Elkhart, is announced as a candidate to the chairmanship. Mr. Brown is yijechairman of the Elkhart county organization and one of the most energetic republican workers in the district. "

Some months ago, l n response to a particularly vicious attack upon him in his relations to labor, Senator Ilanna macie the statement that if any man of character who had ever been in his employ would say that he had not kept faith with him, he would at once resign from the senate. This was a practical answer and could not have been made by a man not absolutely sure of his ground. No person ever took :p the challenge, even to test Ilanna 's good faith, but on the contrary many of his employes have in many ways demonstrated their high regard for him. It - is a fact that in all his business career, in which he has employed thousands of workmen, Mark Hanna has never had trouble with them on any labor question. He never had a labor strike. The tremendous efforts that have been put forth by partisan papers to break Sen ator Ilanna's influence have served to emphasize his honorable and patriotic qualities and to demonstrate his strength with the people. If he is at times arbitrary and dogmatic in his own party he is no corruptionist and he makes his fights in the open. Ilanna won the house and Foraker prevailed in the senate, so the big Ohio fight seems to have terminated in a draw. It is assumed, however, that Ilanna 's victory was the gTeater and that he has practical control, ol the legislature, but it is not supposed that he will use his power to defeat Foraker for the United States senate. HAPPY IS THE LAND. One of the most interesting demon strations of the progress of prosperity is that shown in the statistics of Chicago's wholesale trade for several years past. The value of such statis tics lies, of course, in the fact that the wholesale business of Chicago is almost an exact indication of the consumption of all ordinary goods in the vast middle west and it varies in quantity and character exactly accord ing to the ability of the people to buy. By 1896 and 1897 the volume of Chicago's a!cs at wholesale had fallen to a verv low ebb and it was confined argely to the necessaries of life, such as fool and clothing. In 1898 a dis tinct errowth appeared, the total wholesale business of the city amounting to $618,000,000 in that year and the greatest gains being made in the staple lines, which showed that the people very naturally spent their increased earnings and profits in getting back to their ordinary style of living. The next year," 1899, was regarded as phenomenal, for the wholesale trade ran up over a hundred million dollars, reaching $728,075,000, and the great gains were made in such lines as furniture, carpets, clothing and the like, a proof that folks had ail they wanted to eat and were able to provide for their material welfare in their homes and to wear more and better clothes. Another big year ctnc with Z-ZZi. The amount was $786,205,000. The gain was not so great as before, but it is explained t y the unusual liquidation of debts that year and the wonderful business in real estate. Having become able to live well the people of the middle west bought or enlarged their homes and farms and reduced their mortgages. Then came 1901, the greatest year in all the ramifications of prosperity this country has ever known. All banking, insurance and real estate records were broken in 1901 and so were all the records of wholesale business and transportation. Chicago's wholesale merchants sold goods that year to the amount of $892,800,000, again of 13J per cent over 1900, and the greatest gains were made in the line of luxuries. Costly furniture, fine clothing, the better grades of hats and shoes, elegant furs, jewelry and such articles, were purchased as never before. Liquors and cigars ran away up in the list of increases. Dried fruits made a gain and all and ordinary foods and clothing showed small increases. The people first satisfied their necessary wants, then bought reasonable comforts, and now they are able to lavish money on luxuries. The fur trade, tor 'example, was 33 J per cent greater in 1901 than in 1900, while groceries increased only 10 percent. It is perfectly fair to recall the dismal prophecies of Bryan in this connection, for these are the very things that he said' repeatedly would be impossible should the republicans succeed at the polls. Not only were they possible but they have- actually happened; and more than that, the period is one of unprecedented debtpaying, not only by individuals but by municipalities, states and the. nation. When things are going so exceedingly

well it is eminently wise to let well enough alone and avoid dansrerous political experiments at the hands of a party that never did give the country good times.

HANNA AND LABOR

An Incident Illustrating Their Relations. Senator Ilanna, who has just been elected chairman of the civic federation conciliation committee, is one of the largest employers of labor in Cleveland and never had any trouble with his men in his various enterprises,says the New York Tribune. He came near having a strike once, but a trip to Europe saved him. During the-big street railway strike in that city" in the summer of 1897 Ilanna was restless. The strike was on the other system, the Big Consolidated, and he feared the men on the Little Consolidated, of which he is president, would go out through sympathy. He had previously made up his mind to go to Europa that summer, and calling his superintendent, Mulhern, he said: "George, I want to go to Europe the worst way, but if you think there is going to be trouble on the railroad I'll stay at home." Mulhern went among the men and acquainted them with Ilanna's fears. The men"appointed a committee and called on Ilanna. "Senator," the spokesman said, "we understand you are afraid to go to Europe because you think we may go on a strike. We pledge you our word and honor that there will be no strike on the Little Consolidated." "Boys, I'll take your word for it," the senator said. "Good bye. I'll take the next steamer for Europe and feel easy that you will make no trouble." " In telling this story Superintendent Mulhern said: "I feel convinced that if Senator Ilanna had not gone to Europe he would not have received that promise from the committee and the strike would have extended toourlines. All kinds of pressure was brought to bear to cause our men to weaken, but they merely said they had given their word to the old man and that they meant to keep it. Hanna felt so confident that the men would keep their promise that never once during that long strike did he cable or write for information." MOTT'S

OUR CEMENT WEALTH

What May Be Accomplished in This County. Six-sevenths of the Portland cement used in the United States in 1901 was imported. Seven million barrels only were made in this country out of nearly fifty millions used. The purposes to which cement can be applied ire increasing and the industry is as yet in its infancy. The marl beds of northern Indiana, the largest of which Is in this countv, vield a substance from which can be made a cement of better quality than any other field can produce. The product of the factory at Syracuse, Kosciusko county, shows a tensile strength 200 pounds greater than any other at 28 days and at the end of a year it is equal to that of cast iron. At Syracuse about 1,000 barrels a day are turned out, m re than 100 men are employed, more than $100,000 a year is paid iu wages, and the investment represents about $200,000. This plant is to be doubled in capacity during the present year. The business is successfully established and is one of the- leading enterprises of the state. The mail.deposits in Union township are capable of doing for this county what the Syracuse establishment is doing for our neighbor. Sume day there will be located at Maxinkuckee a plant worth half a million dollars and the greatest mineof wealth the county possesses, excepting its great area of rich soil, will be made productive. The time is ripe for it now and all the conditions are favorable for the promotion of the industry. It is simply waitng for the nrin who is ready to seize the opportunity. - What would you think of your grocery man if he sold you sand for sugar?
