THE BEST MARKET

Right Here at Home Where We Live. In this day of talk of reciprocity treaties and revision of the tariff the crowded condition of the railroads and mills is suggestive. The railroads cannot handle the traffic that is offered them for domestic buyers. The mills cannot make rails fast enough for the railroads. The car shops cannot make cars fast enough. The structural steel mills are crowded with the orders of home buyers. Railroad building in the United States is in a class by Itself, as compared with the progress made by any other country. A nation of 76,000,060 people is as busy as bees, manufacturing, transporting or producing xarketable commodities. Of the total results the proportion that goes abroad to seek a market is trivial compared with that which seeks a marktt at home. Our mineral product exported equals 4 per cent, of the total output. Our agricultural exports, enormous as they are do not equal in value the combined worth of tho wheat and corn crops of the country. We use at home ten times as much breadstuff's and meat products as we sell abroad. The foreign market is worth to the United States but a small percentage of what the domestic market is worth, and even that small percentage is less profitable, because it is a market that must be fought for and coaxed continually, as against the competitors of the world. The .remarkable impetus that has been given the mills of the United States does not come from the foreign demand, but from the domestic wants. If the l-cal needs keep on increasing, the comparatively small foreign market may have to be cut off until the home trade is taken care of. The home market is the best market in the world and is steadily growing better. It has increased more in the past five years than the foreign market has in fifty years, and is capable of unlimited expansion. It is the market to nurse for profit. Pittsburg 'Times." Democracy Assembled. The democracy of Marshall county was attracted to Plymouth Saturday by the meeting of the county central committee for the purpose of reorganization. Groups and factions caucused in saloons and on street corners throughout the day and there was much consultation, Doth open and secret. There is a host of candidates for the various county offices and each wanted a friend as chairman, which resulted in bringing out for inspection numerous likely young men for that place. Martindale and Metsker were most active in their efforts to be heard and seen and they appeared to have pooled their interests and united on II. A. Logan as the leader of the committee, but they met with great opposition, not because of any doubt of Mr. Logan 's qualifications but because of their advocacy of him. The meeting was held in 'Squire Molter's court room and the committeemen were so persistently buttonholed that they found it difficult to get to the meeting at all until long after the hour set. As a result of the day's scheming H. A. Logan was elected chairman, Ed Monroe secretary and Perry Sarber treasurer of the committee. Mr. Logan is a young man who has spent all his life in Marshall county. He was at one time deputy postmaster and is now a lawyer. He has always been active in behalf of the democracy. By reason of hi close business association with M. A. O. Packard, J. A. Gilmore and other sound money democrats his &t'i ading as a silver! te falls short of the McDonald standard, though he never actually bolted. New Officers Installed.

A Story For School Boys. There was once a veteran teacher in a boys 'high school who often made his classes wince under his bitter sarcasm and ready wit.One day a little halfstarved yellow cur strayed into the school and the boys thought they saw a chance to express their feelings toward their teacher, who was busy m another room. The frightend mongrel was picked up, quickly fitted with a pair of large spectacles and placed "on the teacher's chair. The teacher entered the room, walked to his desk calmly surveyed the work of his pupils and theu, turning to them, pleasantly said: "In my absence, I see you have elected one of your number chairman.

VALUE OF A MANAGING WIFE

Views of a Millionaire on Some Inter esting Topics. Andrew Carnegie was the principal speaker at the twenty-sixth anniversary of the railroad branch of the Young Men's Christian Association at New York the other day. Dr. G. C. Lorlmerand Chauncey M. Depew also made addresses. Mr. Carnegie talked of wealth, its acquirement, and uses. He said: The best of wealth is not what it does for the owner, but what it enables him to do for others. And let me tell you there is nothing in money beyond having a competence, nothing but the satisfaction of being able to help others. "It is one of the most cheering facts of our days that under present conditions the wages of labor tend to rise and the price of necessaries of life to fall. There was never a nation so splendidly situated as ours is at this moment in regard to labor. Every sober and capable and willing young man finds employment at wages which, with thrift and a good wife to manage, will enable him to go far toward laying up a competence for old age. There is nothing that success and happiness of a workingman so much depend upon as a good managing wife. "And here let one who has, almost without intention or desire, had himself loaded with somewhat more than a competence tell you soberly that what one has beyond this bring little with it and sometimes nothing desirable with it. What all of you should strive for is a competence, without which Junius has said no man can be happy. No man should be happy without it, if it be within reach and I urge all of you to save a part of your earnings these prosperous days and put it in savings banks at Interest, or better still, buy a home with it. "It took me some time to learn, but I did leain that the supremely great managers, such as you have these days, never do any work.to speak of themselves; their point is to make others work while they think. I applied this lesson in after life so that work and I did the laughing, and I commend to your superintendent the thought that there is little success where there is little laughter. The workman who rejoices in his work and laughs awav its discomforts is the man sure to rise." Mr. Carnegie predicted that in the near future railroad trains will run 100 miles an hour. The speaker commended the care some railroads are giving their employes, and lauded the pension system and the reading and club rooms which some roads are establishing. He said these benefited shareholders ls well as workmen, and added: "It is a great delusion to say that capital and labor are foes; they must he allies, else neither succeeds. BEET SUGAR AND TARIFF A Colorado Paper Pleads for an Infant Industry. To build up a new Industry in this country, one that will support thousands of persons, add greatly to the national wealth, help to make us independent of other nations and bring into cultivation large areas of land not suitable for other crops, is a task that might well engage the efforts of any statesman. Through the action of an American tarilT, designed m part for this particular purpose, such an industry has been established and the history of beet suger making in the Uuited States affords one of the best Instances of the beneficifl results of protection. What, then, should be said of the proposition to destroy thU industry, to destroy the investments that have been made, to drive the cultivators into other fields and to stop the factories that are now bnsy at work? Surely if it is wisdom to build up such an industry, it is not only when it has been established. If any class of producers in the United States has mariled protection it Is that of the beet sugar producers. No modification of the tariff should be tolerated that will bring disaster to one of the most promising industries ever undertaken in the United States. Colorado Springs "Gazette." Where Bowman Goes.

OCEAN STEAMSHIP MERGER

Morgan Consolidates Great Oceanic Freight Lines. For the last few months stories have been current in New York and London to the effect that a merger of some of the Great Britain steamship lines with the American line would be effected soon by J. Plerpont Morgan. The Leyland line was purchased by Morgan, but, as often as stories were circulated that the great American financier was about to get control of lines like the Cunard or the White Star, they were authoritatively denied on both sides of the ocean. It is now stated positively that within in a short time the announcement will be made of the most important union of ocean steamship line ever before attempted and completed. For the last few months Morgan has been at work on this matter, and within the last few days tho details of the merger have been practically completed in his new New York office. Such a union wou.'d clear the wav for the transport of the European freight of the Pennsylvania, New York Central, Baltimore & Ohio, and other railroads in whose direction Mcrgan cuts a large figure, by a line of steamers practically owned by the owners of the railrcuds. KINDERGARTEN JUSTICE How a Small Boy Was Tried and Made Atonement. A small boy in one of the free kindergartens in New York the other day was charged with stealing a penny from a small girl. In accordance with ideas of juvenile justice, the accused was tried for the charge. The teacher sat as judge, the jury was made up of the prisoner's peers, impaneled from the class. When the evidence was all in the prisoner was pronounced guilty, and the jury decided that, by way of punishment, he must return the penny. But the penny was spent. The pris oner lifted a wretched face, and, weeping, said, after Kipling: "I and my father are very poor, and I have no penny." The facts were laid before the jury which solemn body decided that the accused must work for another penny and return it, that justice might be done. A note containing a penny was sent to the janitor by the teacher, explaining the case, and asking that work be giyen the little boy. The janitor was a just man. After half an hour's hard work shoveling coal the little prisoner returned to the school room, grimy, but triumphant. The penny was returned, the wronged one was satisfied, and the culprit was reinstated in kindergarten society, having paid the price of his crime, as did his first father, Adam. A Great restitution. The tremendous business of a great international fire insurance company is illustrated by that of the great Rcyal of Liverpool, represented in the United States since 1852. The Laws of Chicago have been associated with it from the first. It has its agencies in every civilized country and has banking accounts in every large city on earth. Its assets are almost inconceivably great, nearly ten million dollars being maintained in this country to protect its risks. It has paid losses of about one hundred and fifty million and is solid - and ' enduring. Its methods are progressive and liberal always and everywhere. "We Hold Thee Safe" is its motto and prompt settlement is its rule. The Royal Is easily the leading fire insurance company of the world and the holders of its policies have a sense of security that is very comforting when the fire bell rings. R. B. Oglesbee is agent for Plymouth. JOHN RINKARD HANGED Marion Wife Murderer Pays the Penalty of His Crime on the Gallows. Michigan City, Ind., Jan. 17 John Rindard, the Marion wife murderer, was hanged at midnight on the gallows erected in Indiana state prison for Joseph D. Keith. Rinkard up to the hour of his death continued to manifest a stolid indifference to bis, fate, and in the death cell awaited the hour of his doom in gloomy meditation. He was given a new black suit this morning, which he wore to the gallows. The execution took place under the direction of Warden Reid. It Keeps the Feet Warm r.nd Dry.

TALK AT SEA

Marconi System Proves Effective on the Ocean. Big Liners Maintain Constant Communication Across Broad Expanse of Water by Means of Wireless Telegraph, and the Test Is Triumphant New York, Jan. 16 Through the wireless telegraph system the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, of the North German Lloyd line, just arrived from Bremen, Southampton and Cherbourg, was for half the trip to the eastward and a large part of her westward voyage in almost constant communication with other vessels or the shore. The ship was practically a floating telegraph oflice. Captain Hogemann, of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, told of tho telegraphic marvels. "It was the most complete test of the Marconi system that we have ever had," said he. . "Herr Kronkent, operator of the Kaiser Wilhelm, was formerly the Marconi expert on the Lucania, and consequently familiar with the latter's instruments. On December 16 off the banks of Newfoundland, the Kaiser ran into a heavy fog. Late on Monday night the Kaiser ran into clear weather again, Herr Kronkent flashed to the Lucania this message: 'We are twenty-five miles east of the banks and in clear weather,' to which the Lucania replied, 'We are still in the fog, sixty miles astern. Many thanks." 'Communication between the two vessels ceased on Tuesday morning, December 17, when we were eighty-five miles apart, and practically half way across the ocean, and after we had conversed nearly sixty-six hours. When off the Lizard the record of Herr Kronkent shows that twelve messages from the Lucania were flashed, and a reply stated that all of them had been correctly caught on shore. Of the Marconi successes on the westward trip Captain Hogemann said: "We passed the Kronprinz Wilhelm, bound east, almost in mid-ocean, when the two vessels were forty -one miles apart. Greetings were exchanged between passengers and positions given. "Off Nantucket lightship, soon after midnight, twelve dispatches were sent ashore and all received. The Marconi system is a most valuable attachment to a ship in case of accident or shipwreck. "As an example of its value in locating positions, ,1 refer to a recent trip of the Kaiser, during which I should have picked up the revolving light of the Nantucket lightship. It failed to show up, and the lookout picked up instead two fixed white lights. " 'Have you two fixed white lights?' I asked through the air. The answer was flashed back, 'Yes, our other light is out of order.' " SI 00 Riward, 100.

SINGULAR

The United States Will no Longer be Plural. Warner's New Criminal Code Treats me Country as a Political Entity and Congress Will Doubtless so Enact it He is in Excellent Company In Mis Contention. Washington, D. C , Jan. 18 By the enactment of the bill to revise and codify the criminal and penal laws of the United States which has been prepared and introduced by Representative Warner of Illinois congress will settle the moted question as to whether '-United States" is a singular or plural term and whether it should be followed by a singular or plural verb. The first section of Mr. Warner's voluminous bill reads: Whoever owing allegiance to the United States levies war against it, or adheres to its enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason." The "United States' is treated as singular throughout the bill and Col. Warner says that it is so used in the present bill for the first time in the codilcation of the laws of the United States. In treating "United States" as a singular term the Illinois congressman overruled the desire ol the commission which was appointed by President McKinley under an act of congress to revise and codify the national penal laws. The commission is composed of Aelx C. Botkm, David K. Watson and W. D. Bynum. After giving the subject due consideration these three legal authorities decided to follow the old style and the first section of the code as prepared by the commission used the plural form. Attorney General Knox, to whom the commission submitted the results of its labors, approved the use of the plural form. Congressman Warner, however, holds that the time has arrived when our laws should be written in such a manner as to conform with the latest and best usage. So he went over the report of the the commission and carefully changed the plural verbs and pronouns to the singular wherever they followed or referred to ' -United States." The inseperaole unity of the United States is a hobby with Col. Warner. He made an honorable record during the civil war fighting for that principle. Indeed, he is distinguished as the only member of the Illinois delegation in congress who has awar record and he says that he regards the use of the singular in thenew penal statutess as another forceful but unobtrucive memorial to the men who gave their lives for the preservation of the union. ''Aside from the sentimental," said Col. Warner, in discussing his bill, '! am in good company in the position I have taken in the matter, for Hamilton Jefferson, Webster, Silas Wright, Marcy, Seward, Fish, Evarts, Blaine Bayard, Edmunds, Gresham, 01ney and many ofoer authorities used 'United States' as a singular term. Besides these I find that such authorities on interna tional law as Woolsey of Yale and Moore of Columbia hae constantly done likewise. Pres idents Lincoln, Grant, Cleveland, Harrison and McKinley recog nized the singular. The last three named, so far as I can learn, used this form exclusively. In treaties made years ago by tnis government the plural form was recognized, but in the treaty with Spain of 1898 the term" United States' uniformly is treat ed in the singular. In the HayPauncefote treaty, which was re cently ratified by the senate, the term is singular. For this rea son I do not believe the senate will rise up in righteous indignation because another old form is being abandoned."
