There will be a meetm j of the Marshall County Republican Central committee, at the law oflice of Frank W. Boss, on Saturday Feb. 8th, 1902. at 2:30 p. m., for tre purpose of determining the date of holding the county convention, and also for the purpose of transacting any other business "which may properly come before the meeting. All members of the committee are requested to be present C. M. Slayter, Frank W. Boss, Secretary. Chairman. "Wonder what the naval clique thinks about Schley's reception in the West? A board t.f inquiry on the subject would ascertain that this part ot fhe country believes that he commanded at Santiago and destroyed the Spanish fleet. A Maine clergyman has invented and is now advocating a plan for the utter overthrow of the saloon. His remedy is the consolidation of all political parties with the prohibitionists until the object is accomplished. The wonder is that no one has thought of so simple a scheme before. With Cuba on one side of Santo Doxingo, and Pcrto Rico and the Danish West Indies on the other side, separated only by narrow channels, the old scheme of bringing Santo Domingo and its neighbor, Haiti, under the stars and stripes must soon be revived. Domingo, which has a government of whites, is favorable, but Haiti, a black man's country, is very much opposed. The two nations are separated only by a mountain range and are constantly on the edge of war, a situation liable at anv time to Remand the attention of Uncle Sam as a peacemaker. The advance of American civilization will eventually, and perhaps soon, make the acquisition of this other island, necessar v. i ,1A FACT IN HISTORY. One of the results of the Louisiana Purchase exposition to be held at St. Louis in VjQZ will be the clearing up of an obscure point in American history, renting to the responsibility for that celebrated deal in real estate. According to the popular impression Jefferson is entitled to thecredit for the purchase of the Louisiana territory and the part played by Robert R. Livingston is wholly lost sight of except by students of history. Whea 'apo!eon announced a determination t j sell all the American territory he hal obtained from Spain, Mr. Livingston, who was then our minister to France, took him up without hesitation, negotiated for a price and terms and entered into an agreement for the purchase. This much aceom;lished Livingston reported the transaction to Jefferson and asked for a ratification of his ac's and for authority to raise the money. Jefferson was trightened at the magnitude of the operation and at once took the ground that there was no constitutional authority for such a purchase. His letters to friends in the senate urged them to discountenance the proposition for the reason that it could not be approve J without any amendment to the constitution, a step which he disfavored during his administration, though he was not so fearful of it either before or alter his occupancy of the White House. "While Jefferson was arguing the constitutional point and directing the hostile policy of his intimate political friends, Mr. Livingston was completing the bargain and the arrangements to carry it through. He communicated with the Barings and negotiated a loan of $15,000,000 the purchase price, then sent a personal letter to the President setting forth the advantages of the purchase and stating that unless it could be ratified at once Napoleon would decline to proceed further and would make other arrangements. The timid and vacillating Jefferson, upon the receipt of this letter, dropped his constitutional objections and wrote post haste to his senatorial friends urging them to get together anu connrm the purchase without delay and instructing them to say nothing about his former attitude. His ciders were obeyed and Louisiana came under our flag. The man who had the nerve, the foresight and the breadth Qf mind to make that purChase and to stay by it over the President's objection was Robert H. Livncrctnn. nrrfi nf America's crrrjitnst. statesmen, and to him belongs the credit.

THE REPUBLICAN EDITORS. Many of the republican editors of the state were in council yesterday, considering topics relating to their interests as publishers and to the welfare of the party. With many of them were their wives, who, no doubt, are in a large "measure responsible for the gratifying progress which republican journalism has made in Indiana the past twenty years. These republican editors and publishers are a class of men who rarely receive credit for the work they are constantly doing for

state, county, town and their party. Their duty to their party is to proclaim the party principles anr polity. Doing this day after day or week after week, they constitute the most potential influence in the party with that very large portion of the party and of the people who read and think. Other workers come into the fight as election approaches, but the editor is on the firing line year out and year in. The orator may enthuse the smaller portion of the party voters during the few weeks preceding an election, but the editor preaches the party faith and fights the party battle to the tens of thousands of voters every week in the year. The republican editor's audience, scattered in all the homes of the land, needs not the orator nor the precinct committeeman to look after them as election day approaches, for his constant teaching keeps them in the ranks and prepared for the conflict. The man who takes and pays for his local republican paper is never enrolled In the list headed "doubtful" when the canvasser makes up his roll. Generally the party editor in the country is in touch with the more in telligent men of the party. Conse quently his views, reflected from the intelligence of the party, are the wisest and most patriotic. In 1896, when the great battle for sound currency was fought in Indiana, it had been practically won by . the republi can editors before the campaign orators and the makers of campaign literature had reached the battlefield. As a whole, the republican editorial judgment of the state as to party policy is safer than sometimes seems to prevail in Washington, for the reason that it is the intuitive opinion of the reading and thi.iking element of the party. nd yet the party editor is often a much-abused man because he does not make every man's tight his own or does not support men in whom he has no confidence. It may be added that the influence of the party editor will increase with the broader reading constituency that is coming to the party paper. It is this influence which has made Indiana a republican state as much as any other instrumentality. If men of character and ability are put in nomination the wide-awake republican paper will be very sure to bring to their support that large, but silent, element in the party which 'receives little attention during campaigns, but which can be counted on for the support of good government. Indianapolis Journal. NEW FORM OF BRYANIT1S. "William Jennings Bryan has many times been guilty of indecent exposure of demagogery and has often disgust r ed members of his own party thereby, but at no time has he ever more thoroughly exhibited limself mitigated ass, wholly unfit to be seriously regarded as a statesman, than in his narrow, bigoted, unpatriotic, (lern ogoglcal comment on the recognition by the United States of the approaching British coronation ceremonies. By no one has so effective and dignified a rebuke been administered to the smug and self-complacent editor of the Commoner as that of the veteran John B. Stoll, editor of the democratic South Bend Times, who uses the following temperate but clear and incisive language: This country is one of the great powers of the world. Necessarily it must have intercourse with all of them. Common courtesy demands that the representatives of these governments be treated civilly and considerately just as we expect representatives of our government to be treated when abroad. In doing this we do not necessarily commit ourselves to their theory or form of government. With that we have nothing to do, one way or another; no more than foreign governments have to do with our own. When the official head of a kingdom or empire celebrates an event, it behooves us to show proper courtesy that and nothing more or less. 'Friendly relations with all; entangling alliances with none," is good American doctrine. Let us adhere to it rigidly. As to observing the crowning of King Edward as a national holiday, that is the veriest nonsense. THE FARMER OF TODAY. The farmer is more favored by the advance of science and by governmental action than any other individual today. The progressive agriculturist is more and more the leading factor in the country 's development and upbuilding as the seasons goby. More investigation has been undertaken by the government in his behalf and more successful experiments have been made in the effort to improve his condition, both mental and physical, than for any other business or profession. The government has been kind to the farmer and has helped him not only i n raising his product but m finding markets for it. By the improvement of highways,

the establishment of rural delivery,

the installation of country telephones and the construction of electric inter urban railway lines the isolation of farm life is becoming a thing of the pust and the attractions of rural life are increasing. It is becoming pos sible for town and city business peo pie to reside in the country and that tendency is raising the value of farm lands. The improved conditions of rural life have greatly elevated the profession of agriculture and have immeasurably raised the intellectual standard in the farming communities. The farmer may now have anything that his neighbor in the town may have but the townsman is forever deprived of the advantages possessed by his customer in the country. New opportunities are constantly presented to the farmer whereby he may add to the dignity and profit of his calling, and the progressive ruralist is the c ne whose eyes are open to all such chances. So likewise the progressive urbanitc is the one who sees clearly that his interests are inseparably bound up with those of his farmer customer and who acts on that knowledge. Among the great opportunities opening to both classes alike none is more important, as tending to increase acquaintance, mutual understanding, friendship and confidence in business relations, than the annual institute. It is a time for business men to exemplify their hospitality and for farmers to demonstrate their progressiveness. Editorial Snap Shot. If the democratic party of tne country cannot get nearer together in agreeing on a policy than the democrats in congress are doing, the hopes of success in 1904 will ie even less than they were in 1896 or 1900. The democratic congressmen have a sort of go-as-you-please, or dog-in-the-manger policy. Goshen News-Times. The publisher of the Independent is assailed by theDemocrat because he attends strictly to his own business and urges his rights in the distribu tion of party patronage. As to the justice of these attacks the Independent will abide bv the calm and sober judgment of the public. So far as "chewing the rag" in the future is concerned, the Democrat must chew alone.

GOOD ONE ON BRYAN

Tells it Himself so it MuvtbeTrue, if it is Funny. "Bryan told me a good story on himself last summer," said Representative Shafroth, of Colorado, to a Washington Post man. "He said that when he began his political career he stumped Nebraska against the republican candidate for governor. He uttered all manner of liars'i things against the republican nominee and felt that if he should ever meet it would be embarrassing. After the campaign was over Bryr.n accepted an invitation to make an address at Omaha. He was somewhat disconcerted when he saw the governor on the platform, and dreaded meeting the man whom he had so savagely denounced. The chairman of the committee on program introduced the singers and speakers to the governor, who, in turn, presented them to the audience. " 'Introduce William J. Bryan,' suggested the chairman to the governor, when Bryan's turn came. " 'I have the honor, 'said the governor, to present to you Mr. William J. Bryan ' "The governor paused. He did not seem to know what to say next. Then he leaned over to Bryan. 'Are you a singer or a speaker?' he asked. I speak,' said IJryan. " "Who will now make an address.' added the governor as he again faced the audience with an air of relief. "The governor afterward told Bryan that he had never heard of him nor of the speeches which Bry; n thought had stirred the entire state." GILLETT SUCCEEDS BAKER Governor IIa Informed Ills Appointee. Who Will llesln at Onre. Indianapolis, Jan. 20. John II. Gillett. of Hammond, judjre of the I county circuit court, was yesterday appointed Judge Francis Baker's successor on the supreme court bench. Governor Durbin. who is hi Anderson. decided on the appointment yesterday j aiternoon. and Judge uillett was informed of his appointment by telegram. Judge Giilett will begin his term of office today, at which time Judge Francis P.aker, who Iras just been appointed and confirmed to the United States circuit bench, will retire from the state court. Hoofcler State Short -Cuts. Fort Wayne Dr. E. P. Tanning, inventor of orthopedic instruments, has filed a petition in bankruptcy. Lafayette Tippecanoe county will have a complete rural mail delivery as soon as the routes can be arranged. Elwood The Union Traction company has brought suit to condemn right-of-way through land near this city. Washington Mrs. Wm. Gadberry, wife of a well-known farmer, is demanding a divorce h'(-'Ve her hushand reviles her church. Elwood Judge Jones, of the city court, fined Jesse W. Grimes for Dtt tending his 13-year-old girl to school, and threatened to commit him for three aionth-j if he again offended. Progress in the South. The south is evidently ceasing to be an exclusively agricultural community, but is acquiring diversified industries, with the new modes of thinking that such change implies. New ways of looking at things are alwavs evolved bv contact with new interests, and - new policies prevail. New ideas of banks and "banking, of money and or standards of value, are likely to develop when more money is handled and local examples abound. Already the orator begins to lose his pre-eminence in public life. The lawyer takes on new varieties in tiie state legislatures, the corporation lawyer helping to curb the fiorv zeal of the -rustic attorney. The cotton mill owner, the mine owner, the iron .maker, the lumberman, and the banker and broker rind their way more frequently than formerly to the "halls of legislation" aL ; to state otlices. The "horny-handed farmer" still predominates to the public advantage, but he gets new ideas from rubbing up against the representative's cf new interests. . Thus more conservative views are taken of public questions. Discuss on modifies opinions, and rash decisions are avoided. Progress is, tnerefore, the striking feature in the south at present, in public life as well as in industrial affairs. Baltimore Sun. The Law Should be Known. The new law enacted by the last legislature entitled "an act to regulate the sale of merchandise" was passed on by Judge Jones of the city court at Elwood recently, and upheld in all its provisions. The law provides that when a party purchases a business he must first notify each of the creditors of the old firm, giving at least five! days' notice before the transfer is made in order that the creditors may have an opportunity to protect themselves if necessary. The suit was brought by the Thompson Cigar company of Logansport against David Vest of Elwood, who recently purchased the business of Alonzo Cregmile and failed to t comply with the provisions of the law. The court declared the sale void and ordered the merchandise sold to satisfy the claims of creditors. WANTED Single man to work on a farm. Bring referinccs. C. T. Mattingly, Plymouth, Ind. wtf.

CHEAP MATCHES

A Murderous Product That Should Be Carefully Investigated. In one short month, says a writer in the New York Press, I have heard of lour serious burnings in the families of intimate friends and two escapes so narrow that the families shudder even now when telling of - it. They were caused by cheap matches. One friend who has a little beauty of a daughter with long yellow hair, stopped at the door of his dark library and struck a match. The head flew off, but almost before he realized that it had happened, there was a blaze of flame in the other end of the big rooom. He jumped toward it and threw a rug on it. Imagine his horror when he found that the flame had been caused by the burning of his child's hair! He said to me: "Tip, give them a blast. If that thing had happened to my wife or one of tlje servants, the chances are that they would have been so frightened by the sight of the tire that before they could move the little one would have met the most terrible death that human conception knows. And I say that the dog who made the matches would have been her murderer." I noticed one of the Sunday Press artists with his hands tied up yesterday. Matches! The head of one flew off, struck the lace curtain, set it ablaze, and to save the house he had to tear it down with his hands. What kind of people are t he fire insurance companies anyway? Dont they know that the "manufacturers" who make these rotten matches are robbing them of tens of thousandsof dollars every month? Every little hole that is barned into a carpet or any other art icle of furniture entitles the holder of a fire insurance policy to compensation. Those little claims amount to enormous sums in the aggregate and most of them are caused by dangerous matches. What's the matter with the Board of Health? What's the matter with the fire department? Let them get after the thing. Let the ministers preach sermons about it. It causes more profanity in a day in New York than do all the open barrooms in a week. Linkville Items. Protracted meeting is now in force at Shilch. Mr. Ramsey, of Donaldson, yisited relatives near here Sunday. Miss Montgomery, of Plymouth, visited over J-'undav with the family of George Koontz.

He will preach at this place after Sabbath school next Sunday. Justice Russell held court last Monday, Zink and Hendricks were the parties and Tibbetts and Drummond are the attorneys. Both made able pleas for their clients the court reserved his decision till next Saturday. Daniel Day, son of Stephen Day, a prominent farmer of West township, was married in Chicago to Miss Laura Shepherd. He is holding a position as bookkeeper there. His friends all join in wishing him a long and happy life. Last Sunday while the boys were coasting down -at Holems hill on sleds Emil Holemand two companions while going at a rapid rate, struck a tree sending the boys flying. Ennil's leg was broken above the knee. Dr. S. R. Richey and a Walkerton .physician reduced the fracture. Prof. Charles Williams, principal of our schools is giving the best satisfaction to the patrons with a few exceptions and it seems they are upholding a few hoodlums that have been attending school in order to run him out as theysay,but they have failed in their attempt. It seems "no licking no learning" will apply to our school at present.

MORTGAGE DEDUCTION LAW Supreme Court to Give it Immediate Attention. The appeal in the suit against the auditor of Marion county, which involves the validity of the mortgage deduction law was advanced by the supreme court yesterday for immediate consideration. In his petition for its advancement, the attorney-general pointed-out that the decision of this case involves the right of the state to collect taxes on $10,000,000 of taxable property, and asserted that the auditors of many counties are refusing to deduct mortgages from the assessed valuation of land, in reliance on the
