Elkhart, Ind., Jan. 15 Walter Urown was elected chairman of the 13th Congressional district by acclamation. Mr. R. M. Stephenson of Rochester was not presented. Great enthusiasm prevailed. The democracy of Indiana is together," says the Kokomo Dispatch in its jubilation. "There are no factions, no bickerings, no differences." Has it not, then, heard of the titan's combat with the pygmy that is being waged in Marshall county? How can there be peace when Daniel Is not placated and Metsker is unfettered? Go, to, O excellent Dispatch, there will be no democratic peace in this vicinity until a journalistic solitude shall be created. The thirteenth congressional district has had fewer republican state officers than any other district in the state. Its list includes but three names, Judges Frazer, "Woods and Baker, all elected to the supreme court. The seventh district has had twelve, the fifth eleven, the sixth ten, the first, third and ninth nine each, nd the eleventh seven. The tenth has had six, the second and fourth four each, and the eighth and twelfth lour. The thirteenth is the only one that has had no republican state office except judge. It is our turn to participate. The excellent temper of victory was conspijiot:s in the meeting of the republic?, n county committee last Monday, both in the full attendance of the members and in the harmonious working toward a common end. The choice of Frank "W. Boss for chairman was a happy one. He is a young man of hi&rh standing and of large attainments. With the earnest h?lp of "he committee and of all republicans in the count v much may well be hoped for. It was demonstrated in 1894 that Marshall county is not necessarily democratic and it should now be proven that the cou.ity is actually republican. Coats off, gentlemen! . NEW APPLICANTS FOR STATEHOOD. There are now pending in congress bills proviJing for the admission to state! lood ot i ll the remaining territories within the boundaries of of the United States proper, per. Arizona and New Mexico are again urging their demands for classification among the states, but the force of their arguments is somewhat weakened bv the fact that both have teen outstripped in growth of populatirn bv Oklahoma and Indian Territory, which desire admission as a single state. The people of the latter territories are able to make much the best showing in suppoit of their claims. The story of their extraordinary development is one of the ro mances or the west. According to statistics given in The Daily News Almacac fr 1902, OKlahoma, which In 1SS0 and 1890 stood fourth in the list of territories, is now first; In dian Territory which ranked eighth in 1SS0, being now second. New Mex ico, which in 1860 ranked first, is now third of the group, while Arizona, which ten years ago was fairly on an equaiuy wii;i uKianoma, is now fourth. At present the combined population of Arizona and New Mex ico is less than that of either one of the other two territories. Tt is this change of relative status, doubtless, which has prompted the present suggestion that all these territories join forces and demand admission together. If any discrimi nation were to be made among them Arizona and New Mexico would be the sufferers, and as the people of those older territories stand ready to oppose any action which does not recognize their claims the self-interest of all might lie in joining forces in a common cause. A plan which would introduce into the senate six new mem bers, all from the sparsely settled south central or southwestern sections of the country, however, is not to be contemplated with equanimity. To give six senators to a group of states which all together have a population smaller than that of Connecticut would be dangerously to disturb the balance of governmental representation. Apparently the mostrthat can legitimately be asked of congress at the present time is that it permit the admission of the two more advanced and progressive territories as a single state.

Sherwood in the War. "I saw Turchin's famous charge to the rear at Chickamauga," said the captain. "When Turchin aboutfaced his brigade and moved straight, on the Confederates behind him he eft the Twenty-first Indiana battery in position in the extreme front of the southern part of the Kelly field. fter Gen. E. A. King's death the Second brigade of Reynold's division went, to pieces, and the battery was unsupported on tbe right and rear. While Turchin was executing his un expected movement four of the Twentv-tirst Iriiiana guns got off in the smoke and confusion. One was disabled and afterward captured. "The No. 1 gun on the right, however, was left with only one man, and looking down from the position held by Dan MeCook's brigade we saw this one artillerv-man waving his hands to the limber in his rear indicating to the drivers to bring up the team and drag the gun off.. The drivers brought their teams forward in a picturesque dash, but just as they reached the gun and were in the act of turning the driver of the lead horses was shot, and tumbled out of his saddle. The other driver dismounted, cut the lead horses out, and while in the act of re mounting he was shot, and fell to the ground. 'This left the cannonier alone with his gun and limber and two horses. He tried to limber up, but was unable to lift the gun to couple on the ca: sion. He turned cooly, surveyed the situation, and could not see a single Union soldier in any direction on whom he could call for assistance. It seemed that the heaviest firing was in his rear, and while he stood looking this way and that for help Corporal Isaac N. Sherwood, of No. 6 gun, of the Twenty-first Indiana, who, by the way ?s still living in Plymouth, Ind., came back from a position compara tively safe at the foot ot the ridge which four guns of the battery had reached. "Seeimg the No. 1 gun and th cannoneer alone, Sherwood returned, helped to limber up the gun, thereby saving a good artilleryman and a good gun and two good horses. The can nonier mounted and rode to the rear, guided by the sound of Wood's guns on Snodgrass hill, ne brought up in Wood's rear' and, finding himseff in command, started in the direction the brigade had gone, and later joined Turchin on the left of MeCook's On gade. The cannonier was Jerry Ryan, now residing on the south side in Chicago. To me he appears always as I saw him at Chickamauga alone with his gun, but standing by it until he was able to take it off the field." Chicago Inter Ocean.

AMERICAN RECIPROCITY

BRIEF RtVIFW OF THE SEVERAL STAGES THROUGH WttlGtt THE POLICY HAS PASSED SINGE JEFFERSON PROPOSED THE ' FRIErNDLY ARRANGEMENT"

PART In the preceding articles a consecutive history has been given of the principal events connected with the development of reciprocity in our relations with foreign governments. - The fact Is worthy of special consideration that this policy has been broadening continually in t"e past twenty years. During Preside! t Arthur's administration, and the ten years following, ou idea was to place on our free list or to admit at reduced rates of duty, the sugar of the American countries south of us in return for concesssions in their markets on our agricultural and other products; , and the sugar question was also made the basis of reciprocity treaties with Germiny and Austria. But there has been a great change in the past ten years in tha condition of American industries. The need for wider markets for our manufactured products has become so great that the undeveloped countries of Central and South America offer us but little hope of relief even though they should admit our products free of duty. No one recognized these facts more keenly or took a broader view of the situation than did President McKinley, who was one of the foremost experts in the United States on questions relating to the tariff, and was therefore peculiarly fitted for grasping the question in all its details. In President McKinley ?s policy, which was developed during his first administration, a broad foundation was built for negotiating these treaties on lines that are in harmony with the usages of diplomacy and commerce. The Dingley tariff of 1897 in effect was a double tariff composed of maxi

mum and minimum rates of duties, i congress in giving to it full effort. . . , The government desires to preserve inasmuch as the law expressly provides j the most just and amicabie commercial for reductions not exceeding 20 per . relations with all foreign countries, cent from the specified rates in favor ' unmoved by the industrial rivalries of any nation that would make con-' necessarily developed in the expansion . mx ti , of international trade. It is believed cessions to us. This is the identical that the forejgn g ;vernments generalprinciple followed by Fiance, except- ly entertain the same purpose,

ing that the difference between the minimum and maximum French tariff is much greater than the reduction of 0 20 per cent allowed in our l.tw. To obtain a clear view of the broad outlines of President McKinley 's policy we should refer to the repubhr r 1 can platforms of 1S92, and especially of 18(.m. In 1892, the republican nartv first defined in a nlsnk in its platform this great question, as follows: We believe that all articles which cannot be produced iti the Lnited tates, except luxuries, should be ad mitted free of duty, and that on all imports coming into competition with the produets ot American labor there s .ould be levied duties equal to the difference between the wages abroad and at home. We point to the success of the republican policy of reciprocity under which our export trade has vastly increased and new and enlarged markets have been opened for the products of our farms and workshops.

In the republican platform of 1896 Pces in our industrial and commertllo fiflfiniti,n r,t . , cial systems, that we may be ready for

bUW - til tl'li VI iVUlOVUJ 11 ti broadened considerably, and was put in language so strong and unequivocal that it cannot be mistaken: Protection and reciprocity are twin measures or' republican policy and go hand in hand. Democratic rule has recklessly struck down both and ooth must be restored. Protection for what we produce; free admission for the necessaries of life which we do not produce; reciprocal agreements of mutual interest, which gain open markets for us in return for our open markets for others. Protection builds up domestic industry and trade, and secures our own market for ourselves; reciprocity builds up foreign trade and finds an outlet for our surplus. - Some of the opponents of reciprocity, or its professed friends who are really anxious to postpone it indefinitely, maintain that we never got away 1 , from the narrow principle that was advocated in the eighties. To maintai;i this argument, however, would place President McKinley in a false position before the American people in almost every public act and state

ment on this question. -The tariff of j merce the presslng problem. Com1897 puts on -the free list practically mercial wars are unprofitable. A all the products that we import from policy of good will and friendly trade the American countries south of us, ! relations will - prevent reprisals.

"c "-" tucixi auj wjucessions that would bring us concessions of value on tneir part? On the other hand our commerce with Europe reaches enormous proportions, our exports amounting to more than twice our imports. We can make slight concessions to European countries like France without doing any material harm to our own industries, but obtain valuable codcesrions in return, as we have in the French treaty which is how before the senate. It is clear that the republican party and President . McKinley had completely outgrown in 1897 the old doctrine of limiting reciprocity to tropical countries. . In - fact, that policy was never followed out under

THREE

the law of 1890,since we made treaties with Germany and Austria under that law. President McKinley, immediately aiter the passage of the law of 1897, took steps to secure the negotiation of treaties in conformance with its provisions, and tentative advances were made to several of the leading countries of Europe under the President's directions. The appointment of the Hon. John A. Kasson, as special commissioner plenipotentiary to negotiate these treaties was a most excellent selection. Mr. Kasson 's experience ccvers nearly half a century of -American lrgislation and diplomacy. He was for twelve years a member of congress, and among other high offices has held the following. Assistant postmaster general under Lincoln, minister toAustria, minister to Germany, delegate of the United States to the congo conference, and commissioner of the United States to the famous Samoan conference. In reference to the treaty with France (and other treaties) which is now before the senate. President McKinley said in his fourthjinnual message in 1U00: The failure of action by the senate at its last session upon the commercial convention then submitted for its consideration and approval, although caused by the great pressure of other legislative business, has caused much disappointment to the agricultural and industrial interests of the country, which hoped to profit by their provisions The policy of reciprocity so manifestly rests upon the principles of international equity, and has been so repeatedly approved by the people of the United States, that there oujrht 1 to be no hesitation in either branch although in some instances there are clamorous demands upon them for legislation specifically hostile toAmerican interests. I. r,,., Att-; 1 1 II Prpiinonr Amk iniAi,, lief vvnril rr . . , , . . , . . , recinrocitv is found in his nridrpss at . - , , , 1 A have a vast and 1nt.r1c.1t1 husiness, built up through years of toil and struirsrle. in vhich everv nart of the country has its stake, which will not permit of either neglect or undue selfishness. No narrow, sordid policy ! will subserve it. lhe greatest skill and wisdom on the part of manufacturers and producers will be required to hold and increase it. Our industrial i enterprise, which have grown to such great proportions. (Jur capacity to produce has developed so enormously and our products have so multiplied, that the problem of more markets requires our urgent and immediate attention. Only a broad and enlightcned policy will keep what we have. No other policy will get more. In these times of marvelous business energy and gain we ought to be looking to the future, strengthening the weak any storm or strain Bv sensible trade arrangements which will not interrupt our home production, v shall extend the outlets for our increasing surplus. A system which provides a mutual exchange of commodities is manifestly essential to the continued and healthful growth of our export trade. We must not repose in fancied security that we can forever sell everything and buy little or nothing. If such a thing were possible, it would not be best for us or for those with whom we deal. We should take from our customers such of their products as we can use without harm to our industries and labor. Reciprocity is the natural outgrowth of our wonderful inr1nitri:il rlprplnnmpnt nnripr thi domestic policy now firmly estanlished. What we produce "beyond our domestic consumption, must have a f abroad- The excess must be re- ' lied through a foreign outlet, and we should if evervwbere we can and buy whenever the buying will enlarge our sales and productions, and thereby ' make a greater demand for home lab- . orperiod of exclusiveness is past. . Thp Pfmiisinn iif nnr trnrlo finrl viinor retaliation are not. If perchance some of our tariffs are no longer needed, for revenue or to encourage and protect our industries at home, why should they not be employed to extend and promote our markets abroad? President Roosevelt has not only deglared in the most solemn manner his perfect accord with the policies of his predecessor, but in. his speech at Minneapolis almost the same day McKinley was uttering similar sentiments at Buffalo, he said: ' Through treaty or by direct legislation it may, at least in certain cases, become advantageous to supplement our present policy by a system of reciprocal benefit and obligation. We must -remember in dealing with other nations that benefits must be

given when benefits are sought. And in his first message to congress President Roosevelt reiterated his adherence to tne beneficent system of reciprocity. We have now reached the critical stage, in our industrial progress. During the generation that followed the Civil War our manufacturers had before them the apparently unlimited demand of our home market, which gave full scope to their enterprise and ambition. Secure against foreign competition we doubled and quadrupled our output, and multiplied it again ten-fold, and the question of foreign markets for a conjectural surplus was a matter to which we gave little or no attention. But now that the protective system has done its great work, we are confronted by new problems that are more serious than the old. The enterprise and ambition of our manufacturers constitute a vital force of irresistible potential, a force that cannot be arrested at will like the motion of an engine or a machine. If we cannot go forward and find new markets to absorb our increasing output, it is inevitable that we shall turn upon ourselves and waste in destructive competition the energy that might, with a proper outlet, give us command of the markets of the world. It is axiomatic that with industry stagnant and mill half idle the country at large cannot prosper. TnE End.

YANKEE NOTIONS It costs no more to raise and ship good cattle than it does to handle cheap grades. A successful stock raiser of St. Joseph county, speaking on this point the other day, said: Here I raise Holstein cattle. I sent thirteen of that breed awav the other day and got considerably more than 82,000 for them. With the same feed, the same room and the same labor I could have raised a bunch of scrubs worth about a third of that amount. A man must put intelligence and hard work into his farming operations to win, but if he does his winnings will be amply sufficient to pay him for it. A Michigan City man, bascinated by the handsome pictures in a mail orde. catalogue; came to his senses just in the nick of time to save ordering a lot of stuff that he found he could buy of his local merchant much cheaper than he was about to pay to a stranger in another city. Another man in the same place sent an (.rder for a bill amounting to 378 and found that he paid $10 more than the same goods sold for regularly in his home stores. Such experiences are duplicated in this vicinity almost everyday. The pictures and tine writing in the catalogues are very enticing to be sure, but they never save a dollar for the people are beguiled by their speacious promises. Buying at home is a humdrum everyday sort of business and it lacks the novelty and excitement of making .selections by tawdry cuts and alluring descriptions, but it is safest and cheapest 999 times in a thousand. The trading stamp bubble in about exploded and the craze is dying out. Their use in Plymouth is about at an end. When customers congratulate themselves on gettintf something for nothing do they never stop to ask themselves ,vho is paying the merchant for his liberality? The price of goods must be sufficient to include their cost, the expenses of the business, the merchmt's living expenses and a reasonable profit. The cost of the trading .stamp is always and necessarily incluned in the price of the goods and the customer pays it. Rightly looked at the trading stamp is a nuisance to dealer and customer alike and the abrogation of the sys tem ought to be welcomed by both. Watch a quarrel every chance you get. Nine times in ten it is unnecessary, ridiculous and equally shameful to both participants. A sincere effoit to reach an understanding at the incipiency of a quarrel would al most invariably obviate the friction and leave the parties on friendly terms. In the great majority of cases the desire of one to be smart and cut ting and of the other to "get back-'' and "give as good as was sent" is ap parantlv of far greater importance than the cause of contention itself. Study the quarrels of others and you will probably learn enough to keep out of such trouble ycurself. "When the springtime comes again, gentle Annie," every chappie in the land will have bright and gaudy shoe strings and high water pants. If they must do it, so let it be; but why not do it up right by wearing strings of red, white and blue. The girls, bless them, are to wear the vivid shoe laces also and It is understood that their garters are to be in the same colors. WTe hope to see more of them. The rough rider hat is to be a prime favorite again this season and the band is to match the shoe strings, the application being the same for males as for females. Rainbows will go away back and sit down this year, it seems.
