By Order of Com. The Union League Club, of New York, whose president is ex-Secretary Bliss, has passed a resolution urging the reduction- of duties on Cuban sugar and tobacco. Mr. Bliss is a leading protectionist. The young Napoleon of linance who recently broke loose at Detriot now says he will welcome a period of incarceration in a state prison because he needs the rest. He could have gone a way back and sat down for a little while w ithout committing any crime if he had only thought of it in time. During his enforced idleness :e might draw plans tor building islands in shallow parts of the sea and promoting their sale to the powers at auction.

In his statement before the senate committee on the Philippines, Governor Taft, who recently returned from Manila, made some significant remarks concerning Philippine women. Women in the islands, according to

Governor Taft, hold a superior posi tion. They are the active managers in general affairs. The Spanish arch bishop said to him that if it was in tended to confer any political authority upon the Filipinos it should be conferred unon the female sex. Describing the condition in the Philip pines; he stated that the mass of the islanders desired peace, but that the insurrectionists kept the people in a state of terrorism. He urged that the principle of keeping up a state of war against the islanders as a whole was a mistaken policy, and that, as far as possible, civil measures should be resorted to, while the work of the army should be confined to protecting the islanders against the attacks of the barbaric bands who made their strongholds in the mountain fastnesses and in the interior of the islands. Wheeler, the pennyroyal statesman from Kentucky in his fear lest we may learn to ape. royalty while we are being polite to representative Europeans, overlooks the danger that the reverse may be true, that our dis tinguished visitors may find something to admire and copy in our western institutions. Very many Europeans have been Americanized, but Willie Wally Astor is almost the only American who has renounced his allegiance and sought the favors of a foreign xmrt. Really, the fatuous Wheeler loses sight of the growing strength and dignity of the American people when he rants and howls for them to stand in boorish and churlish disregard of international, courtesy. How has he sat quiet for so long permitting foreign ambassadors to come and go without let or hindrance? The Fort Wayne Sentinel and the Journal of that city, are having an interesting discussion. The Sentinel declares that the time has arrived when democrats cannot nominate drunkards for office without imperiling their their election, and demands that no man who is in the habit of becoming intoxicated shall be put on the democratic county ticket. The Journal fears that if the line is drawn in accordance with the wishes of the Sentinel Allen county's democratic majority will be reduced. It is evident however, that the time is near at hand when the voters of all political parties will demand that public officers shall be sober men. All the large railroad companies require this now. and the people should demand as good service as the railroads. Senator Beveridge has made denial of the report sent out from Indianapolis that President Roosevelt had recently, in the . senator's presence, asked D. M. Parry, of Indiana, how he would like to be on the ticket with the president as a vice-presidential candidate in 1904. Senator Beveridge said that be had called upon the president with Mr. Parry to present him in order that he might extend an invitation to the president to be present at the annual conventjon of the Manufacturers 'association inMay nexi, and that do other subject whatever was discussed by the president and Ir. Parry on that occasion. The treaty for the cession of the Danish West Indies to the United States provides that the islands shall become the property of this country immediately upon the exchange , of ratifications of the treaty. Careful safeguards are thrown about the fut ure of the islanders, an especial pro vision being that they need not for swear allegiance to Denmark. The treaty is signed by Secretary of State nay in behalf of the United States, and by Minister Brun on the part of Denmark. The total imports for the past calendar year were valued at $880,400,000 and the exports, $1,465,499,000, leaving a balauce of trade in our favor of $585,000,000. This is the biggest export year in the history of the country and the shipments to Hawaii and Porto Rico, which used to be classed as exports, are now listed as domestic trade, which would tend to make the exports appear smaller than they other wise would, compared with former years. During the past few years Uncle Sam has come to be a mighty good fellow In the world. Everybody seems to want him for an uncle, but a small dose of free trade and free silver would quickly change all that. Let's not try it. The Chicago News thinks if Japan made its alliance for the purpose of borrowing money it should have selected J. Pierpont Morgan for a partner instead of Great Britain. If government of 'the -people for the people and by the people" is maintained we must have honesty in politics. In making the Schley decision President Roosevelt seems determined to do what he thinks is right, regardless of what other people think,

The Corn Exchange National bank and the Merchant's National bank of Chicago, were consolidated Tuesday, as agreed upon at meetings of the directors of both institutions. The merger will be completed as soon as stockholders' meetings can be held. The present name, management and location of the Corn Exchange National bank, will remain unchanged, but the capital stock will be increased to $3,000,000 by issuing $1,000,000 additional stock. The new institution will have deposits of more than $50,000,000, and will rank, third in amount of deposits among the banks of Chicago, the First National and Illinois Trust and savings banks preceding it.

"There is glory enough for all," will be the keynote ofPresident Roosevelt's decision in the Schley appeal from the court of inquiry, which will be given to the public in a day or two. The verdict wl;l not please any of the partisans of either side in the controversy, though the finding will bear the impress of an honest, fearless and impartial review of the buttle of Santiago and all that led up to it. The President's decision will be adverse to Rear Admiral Schley on the main points. The several ships' commanders, including Schley,share alike in the glory of the victory. It has been agreed by the senate that the vote on the Philippine tariff bill and the pending amendments shall be tuken next Monday. The republican steering committee held a conference Tuesday for the purpose of considering the question of tariff rates for the islands. There will be further conferences this week, and the result will probably be that Foraker will change his amendment to a concession of 50 per cent, with the understanding that this will be accepted by the committee. The republican senators wish to have absolute agreement among the members of the majority on this point before the bill is ready for a vote. New York, Chicago, St. Louis and all the other cities which are to be visited by Prince Henry on his approaching tour in the United States have a few citizens who are protesting excitedly that thev do not want to see the prince, and that they shan't see him. This is easy. Let those individuals keep away from the visitor. He is not likely to force himself on anybody who is anxious to avoid him. All the nations of the world seem to be happy on account of the Anglo Japanese treaty. Even Russia is reported almost overjoyed. The bill to repeal to the war taxes passed the house by the unanimous vote of 278. Mrs. Catt has been re-elected presi dent of the National Woman Suffrage Association. The senate ratified the Danish treaty without amendment. Prince Henry has sailed for America and will arrive next Saturdav. TROUBLES OF FAIRBANKS A Colleague Cracks Jokes at Expense of Our Senior Senator. senator neiueiu oi iua.no, wno is A. TT 1 J . T J . . fat and jolly, was telling a number of fellow senators about the cares of office. He complained that people thought that when a man was elected to the upper house in congress his cares and trials were over for six years. Senat jr Fairbanks, who is tall and somber, 'oined the group at this poini in the' Tvesterh "marPsTTlissertation and a wicked gleam came into Heitf eld's eye. "To illustrate," he continued, "there's Fairbanks, one of the richest and nicest republicans in the senate. Well, in the last week his mil lion-dollar factory at Springfield, O., burned, his small son shot a boy companion while they were playing with a didn't-know-it-was-loaded relic, he has given a dinner or gone out to one every night and Beveridge has been appointed member of the steering committee." All of Heitf eld's auditors laughed except Mr. Fairbanks. His political animosity to Senator Beveridge is so well known in Washington that the other senators regard as a joke every utterance that couples the names of the two Indiana statesmen. The Lodestone Mountain. The fiction of the Tiysterious Lodestone mountain which drew the nails out of ships that approached near enough, has a certain foundation in fact, says the Siecle, only the fact has suffered by expansion. On the coast of Norway, near Joedern, there is a sand dune of nearly three-quarters of a mile in length. The sand is mixed with particles of lodestone, and when a ship comes in the vicinity the compass becomes irregular, and the vessel is entangled in a kind of whirlpool and thrown ashore.

STRENUOUS KIDS

How the Roosevelt Children Find Amusement in the White House. While thePresident and Mrs. Roosevelt were in Groton attending Theodore junior during his critical illness the other Roosevelt children had the run of the white house. Miss Alice Roosevelt and her aunt, Miss Carew, were there to hold them in, but were not very successful. Bright and early on the morning the President started for Groton Archibald appeared in the public reception room and announced to the white house employes that if they would accompany him to the red oom he would show them how Kubelik acted the day he gave a recital at the white house. No one accepted the invitation, but shortly from the red room came a series of the most fearful crashes ever given out by a tortured piano. When Pinckney reached the spot he found Archie using a tennis racket for a violin and at the same time bringing forth amazing sounds from the piano with such portions of his anatomy as were available for pounding the keys. Shortly afterward Kermit demanded of Assistant Secretary Loebthat the horses be ordered out so that he could hitch them to his fire engine. Running a Newspaper. An exchange says: A lawyer charges a man $10 for ten minutes conversation the man insists on paying it. A doctor charges $1 for a prescription and the patient says, "Oh, pshaw! is that enough?" An undertaker conducts a funeral and charges $150 and he is "just perfectly lovely" with everyone inside and outside the family; a man buys a gold brick and apologizes for not having bitten before; an editor walks a mile in the hot sun to get the facts of a wedding, death or a social function, spends three hours writing it up and tells lies and praises people up till he hates himself. Then if he makes one insignificant omission or error or charges 5 cents straight for two extra papers, he is a stingy careless, good or nothing cuss, who never gets anything right and charges four times the price of city papers twice as large;be is a confounded most any-old-thing and ought to be run out of town. Talk about the ice man! How would you like to run a newspaper? Hand-Shaking Tour. Chairman Goodrich of the Republican state committee is planning an extensive tour of the state for the purpose of meeting the members of the county committees. He wants to shake hands with as many precinct committeeman as possible between now and the date for the opening of the campaign. He Will visit as many county conventions as possible and the preoinct committeemen will be notified in advance of his coming so they can be on hand. Goodrich intends to give them good heart to-heart talks on how the opposition Is to be swiped. He is confident that this plan will enable him to get an effective organization much sooner than if he wrote letters or waited until the members of the county committee could visit him at the headquarters in Indianapolis. High School Teachers' Association. 1 The first session of the Marshall County High School Teachw Association will be held" in the Washington School Building, in Plymouth, on Saturday, Feb 22. 1902, beginning at 10:00 a. m. Discussions of subjects will be informal: every teacher will be given the opportunity of asking questions or expressing himself upon any or all of the subject. One of the most helpful educational meetings ever held in the county is anticipated and it would be regretted sho-ild a single teacher that is in any way interested in secondary education fail to attend this meeting All school officers and friends of education are cordially invited to be with us. Death of Miss Jennie Collier. Miss Jeunie Collier died at her home near Tyner Monday after a lingering illness of consumption. She has for several years been employed as a teacher in the Tyner schools but had. to abandon her work on account of poor health. r Deceased was the only daughter of Mr. John Collier, her mother having died several years previous. She leaves a father and one brother besides a host of friends to mourn her untimely death. The funetal took place at the Tyner church Wednesday afternoon. Narrow Escape From Death. The Bourbon Mirror says Chas. Coar had a narrow escape from freezing to death one night during the recent cold spell. He visited in Bremen one evening, and when returning he encountered snow drifts to such an extent that he was thrown ; from the sleigh four times before he reache'i Mrs. John Slough's house. When he did reach her home his horse was so stiff from cold that it could hardly walk, and Charlie was so frozen he could not put it up. Arthur Slough took care of them both and they remained all night.

Newell Bourbon Greatly Disturbed. A party of six pupils of the Bourbon schools drove to this city Saturday evening and attended a social gathering of young people. Monday morning they were taken out of school and isolated by the health authorities on account of diphtheria. All sorts of wild rumors were in the air at Bourbon and people there believed that Plymouth was full of the dread contagion and that twelve diphtheritic deaths had occurred here in two weeks. The truth is that at that time there was not a case of it in townNew Rural Routes. A new rural mail route will be established April 1 at Bremen. It will be 46 miles long and will serve 1,420 people. W. L. Thompson and F. E. Young being the carriers. The postoffice at Woodland will be supplied by this route, which extend toward Mishawaka. On the same date a route will go int? effect at Walkerton for which .t hree carriers ha v$ been appointed M. S. Wolfe, B. F. Thompson and W. S. Leroy. i Conviction by Wholesale.

Did Not know a Dunkard. The Elkhart Review says two well known ladies, both the wives of railroad men, attended a party attired, like all the other guests, in fancy costumes. One of them w;is arrayed in the garb of a Dunkard, or Mennonlte, and she accompanied the other to the Lake Shore passenger depot after the party in order that the latter might take her husband a lunch. Some observer who is dreadfully afraid of smallpox saw them, and concluded that the modestly attired lady was a smallpox patient about to take flight from the city. Word was telephoned to the police station, and an officer responded. It is declared it required no little effort to convince him that an over-zealous champion of the public health had made a greivous mistake. A Golden Dome for Chicago. Assistant Architect Fitzpatrick of the new Chicago postoffice proposes a golden dome for that structure. He has discovered a new process for fusing gold with glass, which adds brilliancy to both. Such a dome, he says, can be seen on clear days for a distance of twenty miles.
